Finalmente fatta completa in BDC, con piccola sosta al paese di Esterzili, che dire sino al paese è praticamente un riscaldamento, subito all'uscita dal paese si sperimentano delle tremende rampe al 18-20％, per cui la parte centrale è molto dura, rimane intorno al 10％ sino allo svincolo per passo Arcuerì, poi spiana leggermente; il manto stradale è in buone condizioni e il panorama è veramennte bello e spazia su tutta la zona; inoltre ci sono molte aree archeologiche interessanti;

Only partly covered starting from the village of Esterzili and by MTB, the ascent shows the hardest part right in the village and shortly afterwards, but the best part is at the finish if you are brave enough to tackle the paved road that leads up to the summit but offers a nice refreshment point and a spectacular view!

Percorsa solo in parte partendo dal paese di Esterzili e in MTB, la salita mostra la parte più dura proprio nel paese e poco dopo, ma la parte migliore è all'arrivo se avrete coraggio di affrontare il lastricato che porta sino alla vetta ma che offre un bel punto ristoro e un panorama spettacolare!
