Sant'Antonio Abbandonato from Val Brembilla

Difficult climb for me in the sense that the middle part I had to do it all with the easiest ratio which for me was 36/34. It starts out fairly quiet but before the hamlet of Malentrata it gets into double digits and stays there for a few miles. On the other hand, very little traffic and beautiful views

Easy climb in the first part, but which becomes very hard in the second part, up to the road that leads from the church of Sant'Antonio Abbandonato to Catremerio di Qua. Wonderful views of the Brembilla Valley and the eastern side of the Imagna Valley mountains.

Tough climb, very little traffic and acceptable asphalt. The hardest part starts at 3.5km for about half a kilometre where it doesn't go below 12％ and touches 15％ at times practically all the way to Malentrata. Before and after it alternates between hard sections and less hard sections so when it gets back to 9-10％ you feel like you are flying. Nice little bar at the top. Nice views, the descent to Zogno well asphalted.

Severe but exciting ascent. Wide, pleasant views of the pre-Alpine belt. Little or no traffic. Possibility of combining it with other climbs in the area.
