Also called the "Camnago-Volta," this 3km asperity, with some tears even over 10％ toward the finish, passes right by the burial place of the one who was the inventor of the battery. Necessary to get out of the town that gives the Lario its name, but then again-what would you rather do!!!? This, or the Civiglio? :)... read more

Detta anche la “Camnago-Volta”, questa asperità di 3km, con degli strappi anche oltre il 10％ verso il finale, passa proprio per il luogo di sepoltura di quello che fu l’inventore della pila. Necessaria per uscire dalla città che dà il nome al Lario, ma del resto… cosa preferireste fare!? Questa, o il Civiglio? :)

From Solzago we started on a tour of Madonna del Ghisallo / Muro di Sormano and, to finish, the Civiglio. But after more than a week of cycling and the Muro the best was gone and I decided to skip the Civiglio and cycle from Como directly to Solzago. Which meant it was still uphill over this climb.
Fortunately a fairly constant climb with mostly some shelter from the trees, but because of this not very interesting in terms of views.

Vanuit Solzago begonnen aan een rondje Madonna del Ghisallo / Muro di Sormano en als afsluiter de Civiglio. Maar na een dikke week fietsen en de Muro was het beste er wel vanaf en besloten om de Civiglio over te slaan en vanuit Como rechtstreeks naar Solzago te fietsen. Wat dus alsnog bergop was over deze beklimming.
Gelukkig een vrij constante klim met meestal wel wat beschutting van de bomen, maar hierdoor qua uitzicht wel weinig interessant.
