サンタマリアオエの峠・トップ5

Beautiful panorama that can be admired from Forcella Alta with a view of Mount Resegone and the Grigne

Good asphalt, quite challenging with a couple of steep sections at 18%

Gravel only ?

A stunning mountain pass to escape the city and quickly feel away from the world.

The Perus lake is located at the pass of the same name (1300 m) which connects the San Martino Valley and the Imagna Valley. The name is in Bergamo dialect and means "hole", indicating a rather narrow passage. We talked about it during the gravel tour around Resegone in this article: https://outdoortest.it/resegone-360-con-la-bici-gravel/

the climb to Cornizzolo is tough, so do it calmly and carefully. Halfway through, you may find the bars closed and having to put your foot on the ground in order to pass them. During the weekends, the vans that carry paragliding athletes aloft can be dangerous, not only due to the narrow road but above all due to their cheerful driving. Beyond this, pedestrians and other cyclists in difficulty can create problems. The descent must be done very, very carefully, paying attention to the slopes but above all to the spillways. There is a risk of tipping over. The panorama at the top is worth the effort. 🔥🏋️🚴🏋️🔥

It is a little frequented area and therefore quiet, an impressive panorama, you go up and down on the same side. Seeing is believing.

Nice view of the lakes
