ロベレの峠・トップ13

I've done it twice in the same lap, first from Desso, then after climbing Monte Pora. They're completely different. From Desso, it's long and always in double digits, with significant peaks, so take it with a pinch of salt; the other is rideable. Seeing is believing. 🚴‍♀️

nice to pass by and ring the bell.

Nice climb with fantastic views.

Long climb but with not very difficult slopes.

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!

It is highly recommended to go there in high season on holidays. Half an hour to find parking and too many people, especially on the path that leads to the refuge. Cassinelli: unlivable.
