쿠레글리아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 산길

Going uphill must be very tough. There are ramps at 20%. Going downhill you have to be careful.

Valmara deserves to be climbed at least once in a lifetime by every cyclist, which in just under 8 km takes you from Maroggia to Lanzo Intelvi.

Going down is practically a toboggan. Going up, well, I don't want to think about it!

Pian di Scagno is the crossroads of several itineraries, in particular towards Monte Boglia, Denti della Vecchia and Val Solda.

Forcora d'Arasio is at the crossroads of numerous paths that pass from Italy to Switzerland. We are in fact a few steps from the border and the view of Lake Maggiore is stupendous.

They are just a few kilometers but with terrible gradients, with peaks that, at least in the legs, seem to go well beyond the reported 18%. The various hairpin bends make us gain altitude quickly, and the abundant shade at least saves us from the potential impact of the sun. The asphalt is in excellent condition, but unfortunately the traffic is often quite intense (with the not unusual hitch of a car stopped with the clutch in smoke)
