Covelo via Fontão

Aveiro, portugal

At just 1.8km, Covelo via Fontão is short but deceptively intense — 71m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.9% disguises ramps of 9.3% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Aveiro, Portugal.

  • A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
  • A gentler outing by Portugal standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
