Praderadego da Gus

From Vittorio Veneto I rode to Tovena and up the switchbacks to Passo di San Boldo.   From there some saliscendi  eventually joining the main highway toward Mel and finally the turnoff for Gus.    Immediately begin climbing to Carve.  Here I missed a turn and unintentionally completed another climb, the steep grapple to Zealant at 770 meters. Some great gravel roads up here to explore on MTB.

I turned around and rolled back down to Carve, found the correct road and began the pass climb from Valmaor at 480 meters.  This is a beautiful remote climb with varying gradients up to 16%.  At the pass (915 meters) there a few buildings with visitors in summer.  The descent is similarly irregular, ending below Castelbrando and the road back to Vittorio Veneto.  Great workout in spectacular scenery.
