Climb Description

The road from San Martino is the main way to ascend to Passo delle Erbe from the east. It is a pleasant climb with enjoyable views, which open out nicely at the summit.

Despite being one of the shorter routes to the pass, the climb from this side is still a challenging test. The gradients are consistently steep and can take a lot out of your legs, particularly if it is not your first climb of the day.

Passo dell Erbe is best climbed from May to October.

Roads & Traffic

The road surface is in very good condition throughout.
