베르조 인페리오레‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

wonderful view of the valley below

As of September 2025: the roads are now pretty washed out, and riding a road bike is more of a struggle than a pleasure. With 28 mm, I barely made it through with only one flat tire. For those who like to take risks or ride gravel bikes, the view is definitely worth it!

A famous pass in the Brescian Pre-Alps, the Crocedomini has a very long history (it is said that Emperor Frederick Barbarossa passed through here in the 12th century) and is almost 1,900 meters above sea level. It represents a real challenge for those who decide to tackle it by bicycle: from Bagolino it is a 22 kilometer climb at an average 5%, while the Breno side is even harder, around 20 kilometers at an average 7.5%. You can also get to Crocedomini in a third way, that is, through the splendid partly dirt road (very simple gravel) that comes from the south, from the Maniva pass.

Yesterday we descended here. The road surface has been largely renewed. Was fine to descend.

Quite long and hard stride

This is the Passo delle Sette Crocette! An ancient road between the upper Val Trompia and Val Grigna, with a dry stone wall and seven iron crosses. A 1688 cippus adds to the historic charm. Legends tell of witchcraft and mountain piety linked to tragic events. A fascinating place steeped in history and mystery.

Remade after 3 years last week. Starting from Nozza (Vestone), pedaled climb up to Bagolino, then 10 km hard (especially the last 2), at least for those like me who are not very trained uphill.

The Crocedòmini pass is an alpine pass of the Brescia Prealps located in the province of Brescia at 1892 m. s.l.m. south of the Adamello park
