The Piantonetto valley is a splendid, lonely and wild valley that leads to the Teleccio dam. It begins in the locality Rosone fraz. of Locana, with the first hairpin bends, with a moderate slope. After the built-up area of San Lorenzo you enter the valley with splendid and isolated hamlets, some now uninhabited.

Alpine valley. Wild mountain. Of a beauty that is difficult to describe...

Climb, road and valley are steep, first 4 km with some hard but balanced stretches of flat ground, the last 7 km are tough.
The asphalt is quite degraded, with eight sectors where the road has been restored after landslides, so the asphalt has disappeared.
There are eight drainage grates to watch out for, they cross the road and are made of iron rods that can easily fit a 25 tire.
With a road bike, to be avoided on days of uncertain weather, the road has the constant presence of stones and armrests, with water I think it's a mess.
