The hard part goes up steep and all straight. If you are looking for switchbacks it is not for you. Nice view when you get to the top

An interesting climb leading to the Butrio hermitage from Ponte Nizza. It is a variant on the road from Voghera to Varzi. From S. Alberto, a road with several "mangia-e-bevi" little frequented and partially in the shade leads to Varzi, from where you can continue the climb towards the Penice.
