Compared to the nearby Via Paradiso, Via della Torre is a dead-end climb that, with its increasingly grueling gradient and river-stone surface, challenges riders to find the smoothest possible route up. If you tackle it too aggressively at the start, you risk having to put a foot down at the end, where the gradient approaches 20% and the surface seems better suited to a mountain bike or gravel bike.

Rispetto alla vicina via Paradiso, via della Torre è una salita a fondo cieco che in un crescendo di sofferenza per la pendenza e il fondo in pietre di fiume mette alla prova gli sfidanti per trovare il percorso meno accidentato possibile per salire. Se la si affronta troppo forte all'inizio, si rischia il piede a terra al termine dove la pendenza rasenta il 20％ e il fondo sembra essere più adatto ad una mtb o gravel. Peccato che in cima la strada non prosegua e costringe a scendere da dove si è saliti.
