The initial stretch just outside Arquà Petrarca is very hard. 700 metres always close to 20％ with a narrow road surrounded by trees that leave you breathless.

The initial stretch just outside Arquà Petrarca is very hard. 700 metres always close to 20％ with a narrow road surrounded by trees that leave you breathless. Having reached the Mottolone plateau, and its beautiful panorama to the south-west, the road flattens out and then proceeds in spurts (a particularly demanding one above 10％). The summit of Roverello, not to be confused with the Roverello pass, which is on the Cingolina state road a few tens of metres lower down, is located approximately at the La Teresa restaurant, from which there is a stupendous view. The road to cross the highest point and reach the Roverello Pass was resurfaced in the autumn of 2023, and thus guarantees a fairly safe and pleasant descent. The traffic is relatively heavy at weekends, otherwise you go up and down without encountering many people, at most a few mountain bikers who find very interesting trails in the surroundings.

Il tratto iniziale, appena usciti da Arquà Petrarca è durissimo. 700 metri sempre prossimi al 20％ con strada stretta e circondata da alberi che non lasciano respiro. Raggiunto il pianoro del Mottolone, e relativo bellissimo panorama verso Sud-Ovest, la strada spiana per poi procedere a strappi (uno particolarmente impegnativo sopra il 10％). La cima del Roverello, da non confondere col passo del Roverello che si trova sulla statale Cingolina qualche decina di metri più in basso, si trova approssimativamente in corrispondenza del ristorante La Teresa, da cui si gode di una vista stupenda. La strada per valicare il punto più alto e raggiungere, appunto, il passo del Roverello è stata riasfaltata nell'autunno del 2023, e quindi garantisce una discesa abbastanza sicura e gradevole. Il traffico è relativamente intenso nel fine settimana, altrimenti si sale e si scende senza incontrare molte persone, al massimo qualche appassionato di Mountain Bike che nei dintorni trova sentieri molto interessanti.
