ラヴェーノ・モンベッロの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Getting to the top is exciting.

Not on weekends. It's too crowded then.

a classic from the Varese area. It's worth it.

The road is quiet, through the forest and climbs steadily.

Great climb! Pay attention to the last 4 km after the Adventure Park which never gives up. Hydration and nutrition must be taken care of well so as not to be caught unprepared.

A beautiful climb leads to this pass, which is very famous among bikers in the area and also beautiful for a nice cycling trip. There are no views from the pass, but the two roads that lead to it are very scenic with views of the lakes!

The Cuvignone pass, located at an altitude of 1,050 meters, connects Valcuvia with Luinese. This pass can be reached from three different sides: the most famous is the one that starts from Cittiglio, the town where Alfredo Binda was born. Various hiking trails start from the pass that allow you to admire Lake Maggiore.

The road from Cittiglio to Passo Cuvignone has a few strips where the asphalt has been scraped out. It's totally doable on the bike but you have to take it easy not to damage your front wheel. Some short parts are 16-17%, according to my Garmin. During the descent towards San Michele you have to look out as there are many small rocks/stones on the road, as well as some twigs here and there. Great ride though, partially forest with some great views.
