リボルドーネの峠・トップ11

To reach this point on a snowy path, it is best to have snowshoes or, if the snow is compact, crampons (I went up with crampons).

https://youtu.be/KdsaBL0twzY?si=-LI75WFE57aHMvCE Very well described by meckomat: first gravel, then 2km of singletrack, sometimes flat, sometimes steeper, the last 300m of elevation gain can only be achieved by pushing at least.

In reality, this place is not so "flat" because, from when the slopes become less steep to when the descent begins, there will not even be a hundred meters ... but the environment is superb, high mountain, and makes up for the road that, especially towards Frassinetto, is not in such good condition. There is nothing, not a bar, not a fountain ... but it is worth stopping and admiring the splendid panorama. Going up from Frassinetto the slope, after the village, becomes discontinuous and challenging, more gradual if you go up from Colleretto Castelnuovo, where the road alternates beautiful hairpin bends in the woods ... however, it is not a gift from this side either!

A pass that is located at the intersection of several paths. You can climb to the top of the Mares peak, or reach the chapel-refuge of San Bernardo di Mares, you can descend towards Alpette or reach the Rocche di San Martino

In Noasca the hardest part of the climb to Nivolet begins. Whether through the galleries or across the old road, the uphill section from Noasca to Ceserole Reale is the hardest area by far, with many ramps above 10%. For example, as soon as you leave Noasca, and going up a beautiful waterfall, there is a ramp that reaches 15% over 4 horseshoes. Show!

The hill rises to 2,050 meters above sea level and offers a magnificent view of the Soana valley, up to Monte Rosa, as well as an exceptional panorama of all the peaks of the Lanzo valleys and Monte Colombo. You can approach the hill from four directions, and regardless of where you arrive, the terrain is great for running, although slightly steep, providing a pleasant challenge.

The waterfalls encountered during the climb are very characteristic

A nice climb with perfect asphalt.
