Oltrepò hills. Stunning landscapes, but indecent roads. Passo del Carmine to be avoided unless with a Gravel. With the BDC you have to go very slowly downhill because everything breaks

Steady climb without any real uphill climbs. In summer it can be very hot. Acceptable traffic despite some peaks on the weekends. Gateway to the Trebbia Valley which is a paradise for cycling

10 km of regular climb, in the middle of nature and truffle grounds. Beautiful views, watch out for motorbike phenomena, who mistake it for a track.
