Plan around: Border crossing into Italy after Indemini; carry ID.
Route line is approximate. Plan with a navigation app before you ride.
Why it is a next step
Not for beginners. The road climbs 1,189 m from Vira at 9.5% average, with a maximum of 12%, and is often single lane. The surface gets worse after the Italian border. The view over Lago Maggiore is the reward, and traffic is light.
