With a cycling buddy Andreas I reached the 3000 meter high col in July 2021. On the way we passed snow walls and the col itself was also covered with snow all around and there were several ice shelves in the mountain lake. Because our navi indicated 2985 meters, Andreas climbed up on foot through the snow to reach 3,000 meters.
On August 28th, 2022 we went up to the top of the pass with the gravel bike, technically no problem up to the Rifugio Scarfiotti, there the only place to stop for refreshments along the entire route. From the hut it goes up the first steep ramp in several narrow and washed-out bends to approx. 2300 m. Up to 2600m everything is very moderate but very bad road condition, coarse gravel and very narrow bends. From approx. 2700 m to the pass again very exhausting and steep. All the vehicles coming towards us waited in the hairpin bends, pretty much all of them were very considerate. Arriving at the top of the pass you are of course exhausted and done. Magnificent all-round view of the nearby mountains. Due to the gravel and the narrowness of the road, the descent is extremely taxing on the bike and the brakes. Conclusion: feasible with Gravel, mountain world terrific
