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.

I know of nothing comparable from my home country of Germany, but in the country that has the internationally recognized sporting competition of the Giro d'Italia, there must surely also be the very special patronage of a "Madonna dei Ciclisti".

This route offers panoramic views of both Lake Endine and Lake Iseo, and is of medium difficulty for a reasonably fit cyclist. The climbs are not particularly difficult, and except for the Valle Rossa, they are also quite short.
