Forca di Presta from Castelluccio

The SP477 rises 4.9km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 237m to 1,534m. The average gradient of 4.8% disguises ramps of 14.7% — 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. The road reaches 1,534m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in The Marches, Italy.
