サヴォーニャの峠・トップ19

「ストル峠」への登りは、横たわる頂上（1,673 m）の約2km西に位置し、南のセドロからと北のザーガからの2つの砂利道で行うことができます。ザーガからの登りは、森の中の非常に砂利が多く落ち葉が積もった林道を進み、眺めはあまり良くありません。南からの登りも、粗い砂利と広いヘアピンカーブを持つ砂利道で、草の生えた斜面を登ります。モンテ・ミアとモンテ・マタジュル、そして西のドロミテの麓まで、非常に美しい景色が楽しめます。どちらの登り道も、短いコンクリート区間があり、露出した場所には非常に浸食された箇所があります。 峠では、南のパノラマビューはヴェネツィア湾まで、東はトルミンまで続くソチャ渓谷まで、北はユリアン・アルプスまで広がっています。 ストルは第一次世界大戦中の第12回イゾンツォの戦いの戦場の一つであり、セドロからの登りは軍の補給路として使用されました。今日では、コバリドを目的地とするパラグライダーの人気の出発地点となっています。

From this stylish viewing bench, you can certainly see all the way to the Mediterranean - if the air is clear.

Beautiful high-altitude trail on the Stol that leads into a rather steep footpath, on which we had to push the bike downhill for a few minutes.

Never a steep descent but with a very broken and irregular surface so MUST DO - indeed - downhill and with caution unless you have an eMTB or a great desire to suffer. Never excessively steep but very long and very demanding on arms, shoulders and concentration. Stop at some hairpin bends to enjoy the wonderful view of the clean and severe outline of the Stol above you and the valley in front of you. Generous coverage here and diacreto manigo (especially if you do it with a gravel, at least 45mm to be on the safe side).

Very rough. I did the descent on a gravel bike and did not have a lot of fun. I would not recommend it as such. This is Mountainbike terrain, not gravel bike terrain. Even though some of the pictures make it look like it's just your average gravel road, it isn't. Expect a lot of hike a bike and plan lots of time if you want to go through this torture with 40mm gravel tyres, even if you're technically proficient.

Done this today (21.08.2024) Gravelbike, 38mm Gravelking SK. Its hard. Some parts work really great, but some parts are so sandy paired with big rocks. Generally a rough ascent. If you into it do it! The Views are great. Also watch out when you arrive close to the top. The Goats on the mountains can loosen rocks. I was almost hit 50 m away by a giant rock. Remember mountains are never not dangerous. Don't listen to music when going up! The descent on the other side was super technical. A mtb is the better choice here but a gravelbike works. HAVE FUN and take care!
