I am not a cyclist, but this is still a great spot for picnics and fresh mountain spring water. The scenery is beautiful and the water is cold and refreshing. Definitely a spot to stop if you are in the area. We had the chance to walk this famous bike racing hill and it was super difficult. From the fountain it took roughly 30 minutes to walk/fast walk to the top. The climb is very steep at places, 25% grade. There are markings for the altitude painted on the road as well as some text. Be sure to bring some fresh and cold mountain water if walking to the top to enjoy a great view. If anyone is wondering, it's not possible to walk up this hill faster than someone driving up the road around the mountain to the top. Even though it's longer, and driving slowly it will still take 7 minutes, you'll have to wait about another 20 minutes for the walking party to summit near the restaurant at the top. We will test a race to the bottom next, possibly on push scooter coasting down faster than the car taking the long route along the road.

The bucket list climb of the area along with the Ghisallo. We love taking our customers here on bike tours. Every cyclist must experience the Muro...not just for how challenging and steep it is but to see this unique and historical climb in person: the altitude written every meter of the way, and the several quotes from former pro cyclists commenting on its difficulty. If you're able to look up from the road/handlebars the views toward the top are fantastic! We recommend riding it with an 11/32 cassette. This is the toughest bike path in the world! That's right, there are no cars, it's a cycle path! Enjoy and good luck! You can ride the Muro with us too!

Absolute beast of a climb, should be on every cyclist list of must do. Even if you think you can’t handle it.

Il muro è un'esperienza che prima o poi chi pratica ciclismo deve fare. È come x un calciatore fare una partita al Santiago Bernabeu. Pedali nella storia, dove tanti professionisti e amatori hanno dato l'anima per coprire questi 1.9 km massacranti. È duro e spietato e se non metti piede a terra ti senti dio.

Ottimo posto per relax e grigliate, poche piazzole dedicate ma ben tenute e riservate. Temperatura perfetta essendo in zone montane, ma rimane sempre un luogo semplice da raggiungere. Consigliato attivare al mattino presto per poter trovare qualche posto libero ove poter grigliare in tranquillità.
