Tips
Very famous among local amateurs for training, the hairpin bends of Piantonia are always exposed to the sun and have regular slopes.

After crossing Piantonia you begin to have a beautiful panorama of the plain and the Taro valley, while the road has a 7-9% gradient along a series of hairpin bends in rapid sequence. The road is without shelters so on hot and sunny days it is rather hot
