Altopiano del Montasio from Chiusaforte

The SP76 rises 21.9km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 1,153m to 1,516m. The average gradient of 5.3% disguises ramps of 15.3% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. 14 hairpins punctuate the ascent, offering brief respite in the corners before the gradient bites again. The road reaches 1,516m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy.
