Bachertal from Riva di Tures / Rein in Taufers

The Bachertal rises 2km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 145m to 1,695m. The average gradient of 7.2% disguises ramps of 15.3% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,695m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
