Climb to Passo di Valcava from San Gottardo

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Tough climb (peaks at 20%) and very long (about 14 km), but the satisfaction once at the top is immense. Recommended for everyone, but only with good training. ATTENTION: There is no water along the climb, nor fountains of any kind, so stock up well beforehand. At a certain point, 1 km before the end of the climb there is a fake fountain, but the water is not drinkable, it is written but it is easy to miss the sign, do not drink there. Sometimes at the top there is a kiosk with sandwiches, water and other things, highly recommended.

Brivio Castle

Highlight • Castle

This medieval castle is located in a strategic point: overlooking the Lungo Adda and in a pedestrian area full of bars, benches and fountains. The perfect place to stop! The Brivio Castle cannot be visited inside: it is currently a private residence. However, the exterior still retains its ancient charm.

February 23, 2025,passo di Valcava , da Burligo - cava

Today I ride that starts a bit randomly, Celana Opreno, and at the Burligo fork I decide to climb to the Valcava pass (not a trivial climb), taking advantage of the closed quarry. Climbed a bit with difficulty, I felt more than I should have from 2 consecutive days. It's been a while since I've been on a bike like …
