The climb to the Campotenese pass (where further on is the Catasta, the Pollno multipurpose center), starts outside the town of Castrovillari, passes through Morano Calabro and ends at an altitude of 1,000 m near a tunnel. The climb is very nice and rideable except for a couple of sections where the gradient gets harder, the road surface is excellent and coming out of Morano the climb becomes panoramic over the surrounding area, there is little traffic.... read more

La salita al valico di Campotenese (dove più avanti è presente la Catasta, il centro polifunzionale del Pollno), inizia da fuori l'abitato di Castrovillari, attraversa Morano Calabro e si conclude a quota 1.000 m nei pressi di un galleria. La salita è molto bella e pedalabile tranne in un paio di tratti in cui la pendenza si fa più dura, il fondo stradale è ottimo e uscendo da Morano la salita diventa panoramica sul territorio circostante, c'è poco traffico.
