From Passo del Penice the climb is 3m long and has slopes close to double digits, with an arduous final tear. On the summit there is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria in Monte Penice.

Done last week .. fairly clean road ... average gradient of 9/10% small tear in the final around 12% .. be careful on the descent ... in some curves there is a lot of gravel ....

Challenging climb and if done from the valley also quite long, the view from the summit is beautiful and the tarts at the monastery bar are excellent
