The route

A gentle valley climb from Marea, in Piloña, up to the Collada de Arnicio, the pass towards the municipality of Caso through woods and meadows. A narrow local road with little traffic and a steady gradient, which you can ride at a good pace and combine with other climbs in the Sueve and Ponga area. For water and coffee, best stop in Infiesto before you start: there are no services on the climb. Good from spring to autumn; in winter there may be ice near the top and in autumn, leaves on the shaded bends.

Track based on our editorial team's design over OpenStreetMap (CIMA climb track AS20) (ODbL).
