Impressive sequence of 22 hairpin bends on the dirt road of the Strada delle Carrozze that leads to the Castle of Masino. From the crossroads of the paved road at the bottom of the valley to the castle, the ascent is 130 meters in 3.2 km. Fund suitable for both MTB and Gravel.

Thanks to the 22 hairpin bends created with a perfectly constant slope, the carriages of the first half of the nineteenth century could easily go up to the Masino Castle (where a sumptuous collection of carriages from the Valperga family can still be visited today). The climb is quite long but the panoramic arrival in Masino will certainly repay the effort.
