| How to get there | The hardest climb is from Breno (via Astrio) (330m) in the west (there are two initial alternative roads up but they soon join each other). There is also a nearby climb starting in Cividate Camuno (272m) which goes through Bienno (423m), which joins the Breno road just above Astrio. This is a steep and long road, but never with gradients above ca. 10%. The roads are waymarked for this pass. For the eastern climb, see Goletto di Cadino (1937m). | |
| Other comments | The road is very much exposed to the sun on the west side, which may make that climb even harder! There is a good bar at the top. The nicest road in the area is the narrow road that comes from near Anfo by the Lago d’Idro and climbs steeply in many serpentines to Passo di Baremone/Passo del Mare (1418m). From there it continues almost flat and via 1.5-2 km of gravel road possible with a road bike (a spectacular ridge road with deep valleys one both sides) and after reaching Passo del Dosso Alto (1727m) it descends a little to Passo di/Giogo del Maniva (1664m), where one continues on the asphalt road to Dossi dei Galli where the road becomes gravel again possible with a road bike for 8.7 km to Croce Domínii. This approach road is the hardest (4-5) and by far the most beautiful (5) and one of the most interesting roads in the Alps. (The photo was taken near the gravel road going down to this pass in the direction of it.)
