It is true. It's very hard. The initial part, let's say up to hairpin 5, gives no respite and is almost permanently above 15%. The first ramp just after the barrier and the one following hairpin bend 4 are particularly tough.
Subsequently the slopes become slightly less ferocious, but never comfortable. Of particular note is the stretch between hairpin bend 10 and the next.
By mnemonic rule, in the first part the hardest ramps are those after the even hairpin bends (those that turn left), while after those that turn right you can breathe. From the middle of the climb onwards this distinction also disappears.
When going downhill, pay attention to the state of the asphalt (very damaged at the top) and the slope.
For me one of the most challenging and beautiful routes in the Hills

As soon as you pass the barrier that prevents cars from passing, the climb becomes tough. It features a series of hairpin bends (more or less a dozen) and a slope that varies between 15 and 17%. Getting to the top is a huge satisfaction.

Tough, constant, not to be taken head on. After the red house, it gives up a bit.
