Barrage de Cavallers from El Pont de Suert

The L-500 rises 23.9km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 887m to 1,747m. The average gradient of 3.7% disguises ramps of 8.6% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 8 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,747m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Aragon, Spain.
