The climb itself isn’t anything special, but the setting is truly unique—especially in the evening during the off-season, when you’re alone or, at most, in the company of a few herds, at the foot of the most beautiful mountain range in the Alps. The long, gently sloping stretches allow you to fully savor this magnificent beauty; it’s not a climb to rush through, but one to enjoy.
La salita di per sé non è nulla di speciale, l'ambiente in cui si trova invece è qualcosa di unico, specialmente la sera in periodi di basso afflusso turistico quando si è soli o, al massimo, in compagnia di qualche mandria, ai piedi della più bella catena delle Alpi. I lunghi tratti in falsopiano consentono di assaporare al massimo questa grande bellezza, non è salita da far di corsa ma da godere
I don’t give it my all because the climb itself isn’t unforgettable. The view, on the other hand, is. You’re immersed in the green valley with the river running alongside the road. You start off at a brisk pace, then there’s a slight incline all the way to the barrier. After the barrier, there are hairpin turns, followed by a climb that leads to a dirt parking lot. There are water fountains along the valley, and traffic is heavy all the way to the barrier. Beyond that, the most you’ll encounter is a public bus.
Non do il massimo perché la salita in sé non è indimenticabile. Il panorama invece lo è. Si è immersi nella valle verde col fiume lungo la strada. Si parte in maniera decisa, poi un falsopiano fino alla sbarra. Dopo la sbarra i tornanti e poi una salita che porta fino ad un parcheggio sterrato. Fontanelle lungo la valle e traffico al massimo fino alla sbarra. Dopo la quale al massimo si incontra il bus di linea
Cycling in the late afternoon in summer in the presence of the most fascinating giants of the Western Alps is priceless. Pleasant climb, without any particular difficulty. It is worth it for the panorama, which is immense.
Pedalare al tardo pomeriggio in estate al cospetto dei più affascinanti giganti delle Alpi Occidentali non ha prezzo. Salita gradevole, senza particolari difficoltà. Vale per il panorama, immenso.
