It goes up with numerous stairs and curves. Therefore not suitable for small dogs. The descent from San Giorgio is long - people with knee problems should definitely use hiking sticks. With breaks and two teenagers who need even more breaks 😉, it's at least 6 hours on the road.

Between Codera and San Giorgio there are two parts that are a bit exposed due to two landslides. For the rest the tour is very pleasant

Very nice ride, be careful of the interrupted section between Codera and San Giorgio

The route offers wonderful views but is challenging due to the difference in altitude, I recommend it to trained hikers.
The path towards San Giorgio encounters a landslide that can be overcome with a little attention and a passage on some trunks with a short chain but not to be underestimated.
