Stunning climb with almost no traffic. Beautifully wide, clean, asphalted road, surrounded by beautiful scenery that enchants and alleviates fatigue. Your legs warm up immediately as you cover the first 3 km with an average gradient of 8％ Now you catch your breath, descend towards Su COSSU to Sos Rios without exaggerating with speed because immediately the road rises and narrows until you reach the foot of the Usinava' wall. It is crazy for its initial 13％ and then gets higher and ... read more

The first bit is straightforward. The steep section at the top is utter madness. It's relentlessly steep and the road surface is similar to a poor British B-road. You just have to get in the lowest gear and manage your effort, and keep going!

Quiet road all the way up in very pleasant surroundings. The first bit is straightforward. The steep section at the top is utter madness. It's relentlessly steep, and the road surface is similar to a poor British B-road. You just have to get in the lowest gear and manage your effort, take all the hairpins on the outside, and keep going!

Stunning climb with almost no traffic.
Beautifully wide, clean, asphalted road, surrounded by beautiful scenery that enchants and alleviates fatigue. Your legs warm up immediately as you cover the first 3 km with an average gradient of 8％
Now you catch your breath, descend towards Su COSSU to Sos Rios without exaggerating with speed because immediately the road rises and narrows until you reach the foot of the Usinava' wall.
It is crazy for its initial 13％ and then gets higher and higher until it reaches 20％. You start swearing!
The hairpin bends are steep, close together, it takes maximum concentration not to lose balance, manage strength and breath.
But at the top everything vanishes, the view of the landscape, the great silence and the genuineness of the air stuns.
A natural oasis where you would never want to leave.

Salita strepitosa con assenza quasi totale di traffico.
Strada bella larga, pulita e asfaltata, contornata da un bellissimo paesaggio che incanta e attenua la fatica. Le gambe si scaldano subito percorrendo i primi 3 km con pendenza media dell’8％
Ora si recupera fiato, si scende verso Su COSSU sino a Sos Rios senza esagerare con la velocità perché subito la strada s’innalza e si stringe sino ad arrivare ai piedi del muro di Usinava’.
Pazzesca per i suoi iniziali 13％ per poi aumentare sempre sino toccare il 20％. Si inizia a imprecare!
I tornanti sono ripidi, vicini, ci vuole massima concentrazione per non perdere equilibrio, gestire la forza e il fiato.
Ma allo scollinare tutto svanisce, stordisce la vista del paesaggio, il grande silenzio e la genuinità dell’aria.
Un’Oasi naturale dove non vorresti più andare via.
