サンアントニオの峠・トップ20

The final climb to the top of the pass in Buggiolo, over 4 serpentines, has a gradient of more than 20% - you have to pedal hard again here, but there aren't many meters of altitude left to overcome.

Long climb up the pass, but really beautiful and very pleasant to ride

The Capanna San Lucio is a refuge that can be reached starting from Val Cavargna or from Valcolla, the opposite Swiss valley.

The Giovo Refuge is closed and unattended, in order to stay there you must ask for the keys in advance at the Sant'Anna restaurant in Germasino. Here you can leave the car to go up to Passo San Jorio or to continue on other paths. The road that gets here is not the best, as a large part of it is dirt, but with the right attention it is not a big problem.

Very nice pass, drive and enjoy

The descent from Val Rezzo is a lot of fun, but not entirely easy due to the tight curves. But for me 100% an absolute highlight on the tour...

In Passo San Lucio, on the border between Italy and Switzerland, there is a church and a refuge open all year round. Here you have a wonderful view of the Val Colla and Lake Lugano.

Wild climb towards the small and isolated town of Val Rezzo. The climb is narrow and with a constant gradient of around 8/9%. Continuing towards the Passo della Cava towards the Val Cavargna you will face hairpin bends with widely double-digit slopes.
