Passo della Forcella

The Passo della Forcella is a real pass from one side only. Coming from the coast begins the long climb at Borzonasca, passing through the entire Val Sturla in the wild Avetotal.
The climb is very gentle throughout and winds in countless curves to the pass. The wide road can be expected that here with a larger traffic volume is to be expected. But that is deceptive, only on weekends here is a little more motorized traffic on the way. Sunday trippers on the way to the beautiful hinterland.
The climb is worth not only because it is the easiest access to the lonely and rewarding hinterland of Liguria and nearby Emilia-Romagna. The pass offers just on the top kilometers also a fantastic view through the Val Sturla to the coast.

The pass of the fork is the watershed between maritime Liguria and that made up of mountains and climbs.You arrive from Borzonasca after 10km of non-trivial, but "pedalable" climb.The change of climate at the vault is powerful :-)The road is paved but there is absolutely no pool table. Beware of bumpy spots.Update 2023: the road has undergone major maintenance work in recent months and the asphalt is almost perfect. It is possible to encounter 1 0 2 traffic lights due to small narrowings of the lane due to consolidation works.

Breathtaking road and panorama. A must for any self-respecting cyclist
