Twenty small bends take us to the San Giovanni al Monte area, at an altitude of 1050 metres above sea level. Its exceptionally taxing climbs are rewarded by astounding views. 

This route proposes the climb to San Giovanni al Monte, splendid mountain location reachable from Arco. The road, along which panoramic sections alternate with sections nestled in the wood, presents tough gradients, especially at the beginning.

It’s a challenging climb and its numerous bends offer the only relief from the effort needed to tackle it. Once we’ve reached San Giovanni, the surfaced road ends and for the racing bike, the climb ends here. But before returning, we can recharge our batteries, eat, and rehydrate at the malga.
