Alto de Hoyos del Collado from La Aliseda de Tormes

The AV-941 rises 18.6km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 492m to 1,553m. The average gradient of 2.6% disguises ramps of 8.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. This is a climb of endurance — the kind of effort measured in hours, where pacing matters more than power. The road reaches 1,553m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Castille and Leon, Spain.
