Passo della Cappelletta

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Passo della Cappelletta is a beautiful, extremely lonely pass. Nevertheless, a very good road runs up here. The reason for this is the large wind turbines that are used to generate electricity.
The conclusion that it is often quite windy here is correct.
The pass is a real ascent from the east. Initially steep, then very pleasant to drive in a great landscape.
A recently asphalted ridge road comes from the northwest, which branches off just below the Passo di Cento Croci. This offers great views towards the Varatal.
Ideally, the pass is therefore driven from east to west. However, since the road is very good, the descent is not a problem.

Three Borders Marker

Highlight • Monument

Here is the border triangle between the provinces of Emilia Romagna, Liguria and Toscana.

This striking and obviously historically and geographically important point will definitely remain in your memory on the Alta Via. You will push and carry your bike up to Monte Gottero. When you're on top, you won't question why you did it. ;) Have fun!
