The climb from Ovada is very irregular and also has some descents. You have to constantly change gear.

The road that leads from Cascina del Termo (where the giant bench is located) to Ovada offers some very beautiful views. You cycle alternating stretches in the woods with open stretches with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape. Very suggestive.

This giant blue bench is located right on the pass (537 m above sea level) in the Cascina del Termo area. The view over the territories of the Beigua Regional Natural Park is incredible and worth all the effort to get there.
