Pennes, Giovo & Furcia

While planning today’s trip yesterday evening, C. was wondering if it would be a good idea to include the Kronplatz.

This climb is partly unpaved and is climbing a gravel road with stretches of 20% not just a bit over the top?

While the only way to get there is via the Furcia (Furkelpass, this is listed from both ends, which is not so for the Kronplatz), he was looking for alternatives.

He found another, what seemed like a nice, double: the Passo Pennes (Penserjoch) and the Passo Giovo (Jaufenpass).

Both starting in Vipiteno, so getting there would be done in the car.
