Bell itinerario, impegnativo solo all’inizio, immerso nella natura, strada in ordine e poco trafficata, vale la pena da fare almeno una volta

Although as a climb it is only challenging at the beginning and the end (don't underestimate the last kilometre!), it deserves five stars because it is still an almost unknown and uncommonly beautiful valley.

Anche se come salita è impegnativa solo all'inizio e alla fine (non sottovalutare l'ultimo chilometro!), si merita 5 stelle perché si tratta ancora di un'altra valle quasi sconosciuta e d'una bellezza fuor del comune.
