Another tough alternative to reach the Roverello Pass, this time from Arquò Bassa. The start of the climb is at Aganoor, between Sassonegro and the intersection called Corte Lovo. You ascend towards the mountain practically along a direct road, devoid of bends, and therefore very hard. The first part is traumatic. You oscillate between 15 and 20％ without any breaks, for a good seven hundred metres, on a narrow road but one that has fortunately been recently resurfaced. A few drainage grates ... read more

Another tough alternative to reach the Roverello Pass, this time from Arquò Bassa. The start of the climb is at Aganoor, between Sassonegro and the intersection called Corte Lovo.
You ascend towards the mountain practically along a direct road, devoid of bends, and therefore very hard. The first part is traumatic. You oscillate between 15 and 20％ without any breaks, for a good seven hundred metres, on a narrow road but one that has fortunately been recently resurfaced. A few drainage grates annoy the ride, but when you get to the Terra Felice winery (on the left) the hardest part is over.
At the end of Via Marlunghe, the road enters the climb from the centre of Arquà Petrarca that passes through Val Pomaro. The gradients are reduced, but they are still challenging. Of particular note is the stretch before the Mottolone plateau (a beautiful panoramic point) and the one that leads to Roverello after turning right at the crossroads for Via Dea Santa. Both segments, although no more than a hundred metres long, require a good reserve of energy, which must be saved after the very hard start.
The asphalt is good at the start and end of the ascent, but uneven at the level of the plateau. Traffic along the Via Marlunghe is practically absent, but on the rest of the course it can be very heavy at the weekend.
All in all, a good challenge, rewarded however by wonderful panoramic views from both Mottolone and Roverello.

Altra durissima alternativa per raggiungere il passo Roverello, stavolta da Arquò Bassa. L'attacco della salita è in località Aganoor, tra il Sassonegro e l'incrocio denominato Corte Lovo.
Si sale verso il monte praticamente lungo una strada diretta, priva di curve, e quindi durissima. La prima parte è traumatica. Si oscilla tra il 15 e il 20％ senza nessuna pausa, per settecento metri buoni, su strada stretta ma con fondo fortunatamente rifatto di recente. Qualche griglia di scolo infastidisce la percorrenza, ma se si arriva alla cantina Terra Felice (sulla sinistra) la parte più dura è completata.
Alla fine di Via Marlunghe la strada immette nella salita dal centro di Arquà Petrarca che passa da Val Pomaro. Le pendenza si riducono, ma restano pur sempre impegnative. Notevole lo strappetto prima del pianoro del Mottolone (punto panoramico bellissimo) e quello che porta al Roverello dopo aver svoltato a destra all'incrocio per via Dea Santa. Entrambi i segmenti, pur lunghi al massimo un centinaio di metri, esigono la disponibilità di una buona riserva di energia, da risparmiare dopo il durissimo inizio.
L'asfalto è buono all'inizio e alla fine dell'ascesa, invece è sconnesso all'altezza del pianoro. Il traffico lungo via Marlunghe è praticamente assente, ma sul resto del tracciato può essere molto intenso nel fine settimana.
Nel complesso una bella sfida, premiata però da viste panoramiche meravigliose sia dal Mottolone che dal Roverello.
