Bondone to pedal

Very nice climb with little traffic, done on a Sunday afternoon in October and crossed paths with 10 cars at most

The pass connects the Adige valley with the upper Valsugana and there are several itineraries in the area

It can be tackled from Levico going towards Lochere. Start of climb which, at the first bends, rises well over double figures. Then, after the crossroads, it regularly bites just under 10%: a segment mainly in a straight line, with a couple of hairpin bends, which when the sun beats down can get scorching hot. After a bend to the left, just above 800 metres, here is the first tunnel dug into the rock: an image that immerses us in the historical dimension of this climb. It is about twenty meters long, less than three meters wide (the Menador is in fact forbidden to vehicles wider than two and a half metres). Here the slope allows you to breathe for a moment, shortly after there is the second tunnel, similar to the first and then you arrive at the hardest segment of all: from kilometer six, three thousand meters of hard sweating, divided into three parts of similar length. At 10% and above the first, constantly at 12% the second and finally always above 9% the third, before reaching Monterovere (altitude 1,261).

Unique experience climbing the Menador with the Bici da Corsa..

Classic climb for the people of Pergine, starting from the locality. Assizzi to get to Compet (1383 m above sea level). You travel 10 km with an average gradient of 8%. The road is asphalted and has little traffic, it climbs steadily and has some stretches where you can take a breather. In the woods for almost the entire length, it is recommended in summer even on the hottest days; don't miss the fountain in the locality. Maso Emer, about 600 m after the crossroads for Vignola. Continuing beyond the Compet you can reach the Panarotta (parking at an altitude of 1782 m above sea level) or the loc. Vitriol. For the descent you can choose the road that goes down to Levico Terme, which is wider and has fewer curves but is busier.

I drove down the road today. And to be honest, I had a lot of bad experiences with drivers. Since there was only room for one car in some places, they had to maneuver a lot and took out their frustration on the cyclists. Really bad situations. Unfortunately, I didn't have any fun, even though the route is a dream.

The mountain that overlooks Trento, known for the famous Trento-Bondone car race and for the cycling Giro d'Italia which counts four arrivals and numerous passages here. The eastern side, from Trento via Sardagna, is the most famous for cyclists. The climb has slopes of less than 10% but increasing as you gain altitude, for a total of 16.6 km and 1371 m in altitude (average gradient 7.8% maximum 8.8%)
