ジャーニコの峠・トップ20

wonderful view of the valley below

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. 🚴‍♀️

As of September 2025: the roads are now pretty washed out, and riding a road bike is more of a struggle than a pleasure. With 28 mm, I barely made it through with only one flat tire. For those who like to take risks or ride gravel bikes, the view is definitely worth it!

Nice climb with fantastic views.

Long climb but with not very difficult slopes.

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.

Piardi refuge with beautiful views of Mount Guglielmo and the valleys below. Crocesia very popular with all types of cyclists

This is the Passo delle Sette Crocette! An ancient road between the upper Val Trompia and Val Grigna, with a dry stone wall and seven iron crosses. A 1688 cippus adds to the historic charm. Legends tell of witchcraft and mountain piety linked to tragic events. A fascinating place steeped in history and mystery.
