Beautiful climb all in the shade, very few cars/motorcycles crossed in August. The road is a bit narrow, but as there aren't so many cars passing by, it's fine. The ascent on this side has a good tarmac surface, while coming up from Resia there are some potholes and it is very steep (downhill is not really the best). At the top of the climb there is an agritourism and you can enjoy a very spectacular environment.... read more

Bellissima salita tutta ombreggiante, pochissime auto/moto incrociate ad agosto. Strada un po' stretta ma non passandoci tante auto va bene così. La salita da questo lato ha un asfalto buono mentre salendo da Resia ci sono delle buche ed è molto ripida (in discesa non è proprio il massimo). In cima alla salita c'è un agriturismo e si gode di un ambiente molto spettacolare
