Montalto Pavese stands in a dominant position on the first hills above Casteggio, the beautiful castle (one of the best preserved in the region) with its Italian garden and its wine production.

Village above Casteggio with two excellent restaurants and panoramic square

You arrive from Scuropasso, Casteggio or Oliva Gessi. Coming from Pavia, you go up from the Scuropasso valley, via Lirio and Finigeto. Nice climb, longer than the usual low hill climbs, about 6 km. Fairly regular, with a few short stretches of counterslope once you reach the coast. Overview. Very little traffic.

Road without traffic with gentle slopes.

Short climb, without any difficulty. Non-existent traffic.

Montalto Pavese, with its position dominates the first hills above Casteggio.

Oltrepo Pavese is one of the most beautiful "cycling districts" in Lombardy, a shame about the poor state of maintenance of the road surface. But with gravel bikes you have a lot of fun.
