クルゾネの峠・トップ20

PLEASE NOTE!!! Starting June 2025, parking at Forcella is subject to a fee. A small fee of €3 will be charged for parking. The goal is to use the proceeds to maintain Via Cadorna (this is what the municipality has declared. Whether this is fair or not, I'll leave it to others to decide), the main thoroughfare leading to Forcella.

nice to pass by and ring the bell.

This climb is wonderful, the slopes are never too severe, making the climb very enjoyable.

It is possible to enter the metal helix to pull the rope and ring the bell... I recommend not doing this with the dog in tow, he would be very scared!
