Savignano Irpino dominates the Cervaro Valley from a rocky spur, with a compact historic center and sweeping views of the hills that mark the border between Campania and Puglia. The climb to reach it is arduous, but the arrival is rewarded with evocative views, stone alleys, and the silhouette of the aqueduct bridge, one of the village's symbols.

One of the most iconic climbs in Irpinia: a steady climb from the Cervaro valley floor up to the village, perched on a scenic ridge. The gradient is steady but challenging, ideal for testing your climbing pace. It's a historic section of the Mediofondo Primavera, often raced against the clock, but also perfect for taking it at your own pace to enjoy the views of the valley and the mountains between Campania and Puglia.
