After less than two kilometers from the entrance, an 11 percent section heralds as the 9 km of uphill set mainly in the woods and full of hairpin bends.
In all, this climb, which connects the territory of the province of Turin with that of Cuneo, joining precisely Bibiana and Bagnolo Piemonte, measures 8.9 km and has an average gradient of 9.4 percent.
After the start section to gain altitude with less pronounced gradients, in the next 6.5 kilometers the average is 10.6 percent.
Along the succession of curves under the chestnut trees there are but very short portions to take a breather, so much so that three kilometers from the summit there are 500 meters at 12% with a peak of 14%. In the next 500-meter segments the gradients are 11 and 10 percent, respectively.
Having earned the well-deserved souvenir photo in front of the maxi stone inscription of Montoso, at 1,248 meters, you can still climb up to the ski resort of Rucas, extending the route by 5.5 kilometers and 500 meters of elevation gain.
Appropriate clothing and equipment are recommended.
