| How to get there |
If coming down from Passo di Vallès (2032m) road you should off the road to the left at 1680m (there are no others to be confused by). The gravel road over this pass is usually frequented with many tourists (and is apparently popular among Italians). The road is cyclable for about 4 km, then uncyclable (mostly) for about 3 km (too much sharp big stones on the track/road). Then semi-cyclable up some serpentines to the pass and bar (a shepherds cottage where the 19th-century painter Segantini once lived). From the south there is a gravel road starting at the Passo di Rolle (1972m). This road is super smooth and very easy (at least in 2003). R1: 4km; R1-2: 4km; R2: 3km. |

You have gorgeous views of the mountain Cimon di Pala (better than the nice views on the way from the south to Passo di Rolle). If only the road had been better, then it would have been the mandatory way for all cyclist passing from Passo di Vallès to Passo di Rolle or the other way around. But go up from Passo di Rolle (and return there) if passing by that pass on your trip!
