Salita poco impegnativa se non per il vento che é possibile incontrare avvicinandosi al valico come confermato anche dalle numerose pale eoliche.
Buon manto stradale e fontanelle presenti solo attraversando Collarmele a circa 1/3 del percorso.
Traffico quasi inesistente nei giorni feriali.
Presenza di molti cani pastore.
