Fontona from Levanto

At just 2.9km, Fontona from Levanto is short but deceptively intense — 130m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.5% disguises ramps of 9.5% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 3 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Liguria, Italy.
