Falls Creek from Mount Beauty

The Bogong rises 29.9km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 1,253m to 1,506m. The average gradient of 4.2% disguises ramps of 11.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. 16 hairpins punctuate the ascent, offering brief respite in the corners before the gradient bites again. The road reaches 1,506m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Victoria, Australia.
