サンタンブロージョディヴァルポリチェッラの峠・トップ4

an undemanding climb that is useful for reaching the top quickly and without getting too tired

The step before the descent

This variant to reach the Monte Baldo pass starts near Caprino Veronese and, instead of following the entire provincial road, cuts through the villages of Dossi, Mezzavilla and Valdefort. It is about 33 km with over 1600 meters of altitude difference, with average gradients of around 5%, but alternating very steep sections with some ups and downs.

The Passo dei Lumini takes its name from the hamlet of San Zeno di Montagna with around 150 inhabitants. According to tradition, the name of the small village derives from the presence, in ancient times, of packs of wolves kept away with fires which, from a distance, at night, looked like lights.

This road can only be done uphill (there is a ban against cycling downhill). it's 8.5km at 9% 10 hairpin bends. be careful not to go too fast at the start as the biggest jolts occur in the last kilometres. The view of the Adige Valley and Madonna Corona is beautiful. Recommended period is autumn so that the trees do not limit the view of the beautiful panorama

Nice col for cycling. Wonderful view on top of Lake Garda.

Super nice climb. But be careful on the top of the pass and on the descent, there are always stones on the road. A great new surface on the descent.

2022 everything newly asphalted, Perfect climb with beautiful bends, downhill officially prohibited, for whatever reason 🤔
