Aia di Cacio from Rio nell'Elba

At just 1.9km, Aia di Cacio from Rio nell'Elba is short but deceptively intense — 132m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. A sustained 7.1% average gradient with a maximum of 9.1% makes this a remarkably consistent and demanding ascent. The 4 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Tuscany, Italy.
