Steep path with some stones in the last part of the climb, but pedaled with Ebike

A beautiful loop; easily rideable up to San Sisto, then it gets steeper. Probably rideable throughout with an e-bike; without an e-bike, there are a few short pushing sections. Beautiful descent, easy in places, a bit challenging. Today we had to leave quickly due to threatening rain clouds; otherwise, the tour could have continued to Lago Bianco.
