In the area between Sesto Calende and Golasecca along the towpath on the Ticino River, it is the one-kilometer climb from the river to the village of Golasecca. It begins at the junction with the towpath on the Ticino River and ends at the traffic circle that then leads to Somma, the center of Golasecca and Sesona.

In the area between Sesto Calende and Golasecca along the towpath on the Ticino River, it is the one-kilometer climb from the river to the village of Golasecca. It begins at the junction with the towpath on the Ticino River and ends at the traffic circle that then leads to Somma, the center of Golasecca and Sesona. The first section up to the left-hand bend is hard with gradients around and perhaps over 10％ then becomes more manageable in a short section up to the first right-hand fork to Gilasecca and then pulls back up to the traffic circle. If tackled at the end of a challenging roundabout it can become deadly precisely because it is exposed to the sun, on a busy provincial road with challenging gradients. Done downhill it easily allows speeds even over 70 km/h.
Nella zona tra Sesto Calende e Golasecca lungo la alzaia sul Fiume Ticino, è la salita che in un chilometro porta dal fiume al paese di Golasecca. Inizia al bivio con l'alzaia sul Ticino e termina alla rotonda che porta poi a Somma, al centro di Golasecca e a Sesona. Il primo tratto fino al curvone a sinistra è duro con pendenze attorno e forse oltre il 10％ per poi diventare più gestibile in un breve tratto fino al primo bivio a dx per Gilasecca e per poi riprendere a tirare fino alla rotonda. Se affrontata al termine di un giro impegnativo può diventare letale proprio perché esposta al sole, su una strada provinciale trafficata e con pendenze impegnative. Fatta in discesa permette facilmente di raggiungere velocità anche over 70 km/h.
