A climb that's more to do for the challenge it represents than for the scenery it offers. The first 4 kilometres are a warm-up, the next 6 are a challenge, with an average gradient of 12%. At one point, the speedometer even reads 25%! The road is not very busy, but it is narrow and some motorists drive fast. The tarmac is of average quality but still doable on a road bike.... read more

Une ascension qui est plus à faire pour le challenge qu'elle représente que pour les paysages qu'elle offre. Les 4 premiers kilometres, c'est l'échauffement, les 6 suivants, c'est le défi, avec une pente moyenne de 12%. À un moment, le compteur affiche même 25% ! La route est peu fréquentée mais elle est étroite et certains automobilistes conduisent vite. Le bitume est de qualité moyenne mais reste faisable en vélo de route.

I have only ridden it up to the junction for the Monti di Treccione, so I don't know the last part, which from the altimetry seems very hard. However, I would like to point out that just before the junction for the Monti there is another stretch well over 20% (if I remember correctly, the sign indicated 25% and called it "Cavatappi" it is the hairpin bends just before Montuglio), a stretch that does not appear on the altimetry!

L'ho percorsa solo fino al bivio per i Monti di Treccione, quindi non conosco l'ultima parte, che dall'altimetria sembra durissima. Faccio però notare che poco prima del bivio per i Monti c'è un altro tratto ben oltre il 20% (se ben ricordo il cartello riportava il 25% e lo chiamava "Cavatappi": sono i tornantini appena prima di Montuglio), tratto che non appare sull'altimetria!
