The pass can be reached from Garessio following the SP nr.213. On the other side of the pass the road goes down till to the Ligurian border, where it takes the name of SP nr. 47 Calizzano - Garessio and ends in Calizzano. Cyclists appreciate the climb because it crosses a pleasant woody area, car and truck traffic is very sparse and it offers some good views on the neighbouring mountains. The climb to Colle del Quazzo can be combined with Colle San Bernardo and Colle Scravaion thus making an interesting round-trip. Colle del Quazzo is also frequented by motorcycle riders.
