You will ride on the main road for about half of the climb, but turn right just after the bridge. The road is a dead end, on the top you will also find a hut. The road is narrow, and payable (for motor vehicles), but offers great views and a few tunnels. 

Author’s recommendation

Start early in the morning, when the traffic is low
