How to get there The eastern climb starts out in Val Camonica at Forno Allione (440m) between Breno and Edolo. It is a somewhat steep climb up Valle Paisco mostly in forest on a narrow, but good road. The steepest part is in the last couple of kilometres. The last kilometre is not steep. The western climb starts in Dèzzo (745m) in Valle di Scalve and is irregular, with only a few steep sections.
Other comments There are splendid views just west of the pass height. There are also good views higher up on the east side. There are shops and cafés in Schilpario on the west side and at the pass there is a restaurant/small hotel (rifugio). The pass has been used in the Giro d’Italia a few times.
