Nice smooth climb with slopes never prohibitive, asphalt always in good condition. At the top nice view from the panoramic terrace. If you don't want to go all the way to the square at the cemetery, you can descend to the left following the signs for Fidenza and go toward the village of Vigoleno... read more

Bella salita regolare con pendenze mai proibitive, asfalto sempre in buone condizioni. In cima bella vista dalla terrazza panoramica. Se non si vuole arrivare fino in piazza al cimitero si puo scendere a sinistra seguendo le indicazioni Fidenza e andare verso il borgo di Vigoleno

Nice climb, never difficult. It climbs steadily without too much difficulty. Traffic is scarce but watch out for motorbikes, which are always very numerous. The road surface is good and there is a beautiful view from the terrace at Vernasca. From there, it is possible to continue the climb in the direction of Bore and at the junction on Monte Canzolino descend towards the dam, but at the moment the road is closed due to a landslide.

Bella salita mai impegnativa. Si sale regolari senza troppe difficoltà. Il traffico è scarso ma attenzione alle moto, sempre molto numerose. Il manto stradale è buono e si gode di una bella vista dalla terrazza di Vernasca. Da lì è possibile proseguire con la salita in direzione Bore e al bivio sul Monte Canzolino scendere verso la diga, ma al momento la strada è chiusa per frana.
