Wonderful! The entire first part, coming out of Nanto, runs along the hillside, completely in the sun on a wide road with perfect asphalt. The view towards the Euganean hills is unparalleled, the gradients quite constant, challenging but never prohibitive. Three-quarters of the way up, we turn towards Villabalzana and venture into the woods on a narrower road with a variable altitude profile.

Wonderful! The entire first part, coming out of Nanto, runs along the hillside, completely in the sun on a wide road with perfect asphalt. The view towards the Euganean hills is unparalleled, the gradients quite constant, challenging but never prohibitive. Three-quarters of the way up, we turn towards Villabalzana and venture into the woods on a narrower road with a variable altitude profile. The exertions are behind us, the landscape is now characterised by a few pastures and the typical trees of the Berici and we comfortably arrive at the village of Villabalzana, where the climb ends.
The descent is almost more beautiful than the ascent. The excellent visibility, the never excessive gradient and the quality of the asphalt allow for speed, with a beautiful landscape in the background.
This morning, it was Saturday, it was not busy, but I found many cyclists, including four Swedish cyclists.

Meravigliosa! Tutta la prima parte, usciti da Nanto, si sviluppa sulla costa della collina, completamente al sole su strada ampia e con asfalto perfetto. Il panorama verso i colli Euganei è ineguagliabile, le pendenze piuttosto costanti, impegnative ma mai proibitive. A tre quarti di salita si svolta verso Villabalzana e ci si avventura nel bosco su strada più stretta e profilo altimetrico variabile. Le fatiche sono alle spalle, il paesaggio è caratterizzato adesso da qualche pascolo e dagli alberi tipici del centro dei Berici e si arriva comodamente all'abitato di Villabalzana, dove l'ascesa si conclude.
La discesa è quasi più bella della salita. L'ottima visibilità, la pendenza mai eccessiva e la qualità dell'asfalto consentono di fare velocità, con uno splendido paesaggio sullo sfondo.
Stamattina, era sabato, non era trafficata, ma ho trovato molti ciclisti, tra cui quattro cicloturiste svedesi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Torretta is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
