Highlight • Viewpoint

To do absolutely. The climb to Ballabio requires some training, the rest is quite pedalable. Watch out for the cars, the road is narrow and not in good shape.

Beautiful. The road is not perfect and is also used by cars. Be careful going downhill

Immersed in Val Sassina, long climb, but always pedaled divided into 3 sections:
the first part from Lecco to Ballalbio, successively to Moggio and then the end between hairpin bends and mountain road to the slope

Climb close, but quite different. Resinelli almost all in the shade with a view (towards the southern Grigna) only upon arrival, while Morterone is always exposed, but with beautiful views towards Lecco.

I was only able to mobilize the "sluggish mass" in the evening, through the beautiful mountain villages, where unfortunately no view of the lake at night was possible.
