Most cyclists make this climb from Reschen (Resia in Italian) to Schöneben (Belpiano) in the gondola lift, and then descend on their downhill bikes or enduro mountain bikes. For road bikers this ride starts with one and a half horizontal kilometers. After that the winding and moderately paved (as of 2023) road runs steeply uphill (largely 8-9%) for 3.5 kilometers. The following parts are a descent (21 meters in altitude) and the most scenic part of the ascent through the Rojental (Valle Roia), about 2 kilometers long at 6-9%. Finally, the road turns sharply to the left - there is a dead end road sign here - and the last one and a half kilometers begin. These are quite steep and include the steepest kilometer of the ride (11.5%). At the finish, the view is composed mainly of buildings and the like that belong to the gondola lift.
