Bittereggweg from Hinterleiten

At just 2.8km, Bittereggweg from Hinterleiten is short but deceptively intense — 117m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.2% disguises ramps of 9.5% — 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. Located in Styria, Austria.
