725 - Piancavallo

REPETTI M A U R O - 14-12-2023:
The side from Barcis (prov Pordenone - region Friuli) start near a pedestrian bridge on the wonderful green water lake - .
After 300 mt flat u turn right, and here the real climb begins (av 6% and max slope 11 %), a very solitary road (no one car overtoke me ! ! ) with a bumpy and rough asphalt.
The toughest slopes are concentrated in 2 points: at the start of the climb (for about 1,5 km) and between km 4 and 7. After these two sectors, the climb can be cycled all the way to the top.
After the first part, characterized by vegetation composed of beech trees, the landscape changes starting from the fourth kilometre. You enter in a narrow and very shady valley, with dense forest of conifers, completely immersed in the silence of the mountain.
3 groups of hairpins lead you to the 1.300 mt of the top, where the famous Piancavallo ski resort awaits you.
Since the 80s it has hosted many alpine skiing World Cup events , and stages of Giro d'Italia ( 1998 in which Marco Pantani prevailed, a stage in 2017 won by Mikel Landa, and in 2011.
Since 1970, the Piancavallo Rally Car of European significance has been held there for many years (and u can see on tarmac the start of the stage Barcis to Piancavallo).

Le timer du versant Sud est compris entre 6,5 et 3 km/h. Il doit y avoir une erreur.

BRIOLLET Daniel - 30-11-2017:
L'altimètrie du versant N n'est pas faite.
Et pour ce versant (N), le timer semble irréel, puisque compris entre 3,8 (moins vite qu'à pieds) et 8,8 km/h pour le plus rapide...
