Italy · Lake Maggiore · Val Vigezzo

The longest of the Cannobio climbs — 54.5km round trip, over the Passo dello Scopello.

Ridden twice within a week in May 2026 — the longest and most repeated of the Cannobio climbs, up over the Passo dello Scopello (965m) into Val Vigezzo.

Route data (from Strava): 54.5km, 1,312m of climbing, max grade 48.5% (12 May) and 36.2% (16 May) across the two rides — short, brutal ramps on an otherwise sustained climb.

No photos from these two rides

Checked the photo library against both ride times (12 and 16 May 2026): nothing was taken during either ride. The photos from that morning were a walk with the dog, so they stay off this page.
