This is an awesome climb to be honest, the views are gorgeous and Volterra town at the top is beautiful. The road is good, its quite steady ramp up from the bottom, nothing too crazy.

There can be a bit of traffic here, mainly motorbikes but its not too bad.

Some years ago I was on holiday here and did this climb several times. To Italian standards very good asphalt. Beautiful climb, but very much traffic.

Enkele jaren geleden hier op vakantie geweest en deze klim meermaals gedaan. Naar Italiaanse normen heel goed asfalt. Mooie klim, maar erg veel verkeer.
