This is a tough climb, some parts are really steep, but there are some nice views and buildings around to admire if you are taking it slow. Not much traffic here either. I can recommend this climb to anyone who likes to suffer a bit :)... read more

Beautiful and sturdy climb on quiet road.
The routes on the main roads to Volterra are very busy and this one from Prato d'Era is beautiful and quiet. Also the road to the start of the climb on the 439dir from the 68 at Roncolla or from the 15 is beautiful and quiet. The climb ends at the Roman theater and near parking lots for visitors to Voltarra.

Prachtige en stevige klim over rustige weg.
De routes over de hoofdwegen naar Volterra zijn erg druk en deze vanuit Prato d'Era is prachtig en rustig. Ook de weg naar het begin van de klim over de 439dir vanaf de 68 bij Roncolla of vanaf de 15 is mooi en rustig. De klim eindigt bij het Romeinse theater en in de buurt van parkeerterreinen voor bezoekers van Voltarra.
