Ascent to Passo delle Palade from Lana

The climb to the Passo delle Palade from Lana connects the Val d'Adige with the Val di Non. It is about 18 kilometers long with a difference in altitude of 1200 meters. The gradient is fairly constant for most of the route. The road passes through several villages before tackling the numerous hairpin bends that climb through the woods to the 1518 meters of the pass.

Dear colleagues, I live on the Gampenpass Straße, I drive to work on this street every day, I cycle up the pass almost once a week. But by bike only between 6.00 and 8.00 in the morning!!! The Gampenpass road is the connection between the Adige Valley (Lana) and the Nonsberg (Fondo), commuter traffic, individual traffic, heavy traffic and tourists and many bikers run there. If you want to do a quiet tour, you should take my tip into account! Have fun Michael

It's a matter of taste, but I like the descent on the Gampen Pass better than on the Mendel Pass. The view of Bolzano and towards Meran is very nice from this small parking lot.
