The pre-alpine area of Biella hides little gems among which the climb under review should be counted. It is a short climb but hides quite a few pitfalls because of the gradients it offers the cyclist who tries to tackle it. I will preface this immediately: I do not recommend doing it in summer or at any rate on very hot days. It's all in the sun except for the final part where you get off the top of the hill (Colma) and it is all exposed to the south. Leaving the provincial road from Brusne... read more

The pre-alpine area of Biella hides little gems among which the climb under review should be counted. It is a short climb but hides quite a few pitfalls because of the gradients it offers the cyclist who tries to tackle it. I will preface this immediately: I do not recommend doing it in summer or at any rate on very hot days. It's all in the sun except for the final part where you get off the top of the hill (Colma) and it is all exposed to the south. Leaving the provincial road from Brusnengo toward Curino, take a small road on the left and after a short flat section, the fairly hard show begins. Before reaching San Bononio there are two tortnants with a section with gradients close to 10％ and beyond, and after San Bononio there are more tronnants and a long straight stretch that is always hard before reaching the Colma. The road then continues almost flat for a while' before embarking on the descent to Baltigati and then descending to take the provincial road to Valle Mosso or Pray.

La zona prealpina del biellese nasconde delle piccole perle tra cui va annoverata la salita in recensione. Si tratta di una salita breve ma nasconde non poche insidie per le pendenze che offre al ciclista che prova ad affrontarla. Premetto subito: sconsiglio di farla in estate o comunque in giornate molto calde. E' tutta al sole tranne la parte finale ove si scollina (Colma) ed è esposta tutta a sud. Lasciando la provinciale da Brusnengo verso Curino si prende una stradina sulla sinistra e dopo un breve tratto pianeggiante, inizia lo spettacolo di discreta durezza. Prima di arrivare a San Bononio si affrontano due tortnanti con un tratto con pendenze prossime al 10％ e oltre e dopo San Bononio ci sono ancora tronanti e un lungo rettilineo sempre duro prima di raggiungere la Colma. La strada poi prosegue quasi pianeggiante per un po' prima di intraprendere la discesa verso Baltigati e poi scendere a prendere la provinciale per Valle Mosso o Pray.
