I traced this route without knowing I would have this view of Pisa and the Mediterranean. The climb has sections with steep gradients, so warm up a bit before reaching the foot of the climb. CAUTION: if you have a support vehicle, the descent does not allow two cars to pass side-by-side.

Very nice view all the way to Pisa and the sea.
