The tarmacked part is short but intense due both to its average gradient and also because of some stretches where medium/high pedal assist will be necessary. After a short detour to Lotteno, continue to the small but characteristic villages of Uschione and Nesossi, where there are both a mountain refuge and an eating place. From here you can either continue for a few more kilometres towards Monte Pradella with views of Val Bregaglia, or take, before Uschione, the detour to the right into the valley of River Schiesone, dominated by Pizzo di Prata, and rising up to Alpe Pradotti and Alpe Belvedere.
