A very long climb of over 37 km, all pedalable with short sections with gradients of over 8％, passing through beautiful villages. The last stretch after Gressoney La Trinitè is very hard on the legs due to the many kilometres of ascent, but at your own pace you can manage it and at the end there is a nice fountain with ice water.

Salita molto lunga oltre 37 Km, tutta pedalabile con brevi tratti con pendenze superiori all'8％, si attraversano bei borghi. L'ultimo tratto dopo Gressoney La Trinitè risulta essere molto pesante a causa dei tanti km di salita sulle gambe ma col proprio passo si riesce a fare ed alla fine c'è una bella fontana con acqua gelata. Consigliata.

Super long climb but all rideable. You just have to pay attention to the first 9/10km which are on the 6/7％ , a central section with peaks at 8/10％ although very short. The last few km after the trinite are also challenging because you have 32/33km in your legs. Excellent asphalt, traffic present but bearable. Naturalistically it is not exceptional, but it was also cloudy. There are lots of very easy sections at 2/3％ that allow you to recover. Excellent for training at a good pace, I recommend

Salita super lunga ma tutta pedalabile. Bisogna solo fare attenzione ai primi 9/10km che sono sul 6/7％ , un tratto centrale con punte al 8/10％ anche se molto breve. Gli ultimi km dopo la trinite sono impegnativi anche perché si hanno 32/33km nelle gambe. Asfalto ottimo, traffico presente ma sopportabile. Naturalisticamente non è eccezionale, però era anche nuvoloso. Ci sono tantissimi tratti molto facili al 2/3％ che permettono di recuperare. Ottima x allenarsi a buon ritmo, consiglio
