The climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo starting from the Erba area is an alternative to the classic side from Bellagio. It is about 16 kilometers long with a difference in altitude of over 500 meters. The route passes through Canzo and Asso, partly following the Valassina, before the last stretch towards the famous cyclists' sanctuary.

Epic, historic climb. Twin of the harder climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo from Bellagio, more suitable for those who have just started. Short, but can hide several pitfalls especially in the final stretch.
