Connecting pass between Valseriana and Valcavallina. The climb from Casazza is a classic of the Lombardy climbs. Route also taken by some stages of the Giro d'Italia and the Giro di Lombardia. At the pass is the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Ciclista (with an adjacent small cycling museum), once called Madonna della Neve.

Originally, the current Sanctuary dedicated to the "Madonna dei ciclisti" (Our Lady of Cyclists) was called "Madonna della Neve" (Our Lady of the Snow). Being a classic uphill route, also for some stages of the Giro d'Italia and Giro di Lombardia (in addition to many other minor races), it was later named so towards the end of the last century, considering that a small cycling museum was also created next to the church. To which, well-known cycling professionals donated their memorabilia.
