Gugenhof via Erlinsbacherstrasse

At just 1.8km, Gugenhof via Erlinsbacherstrasse is short but deceptively intense — 87m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.8% disguises ramps of 11.1% — 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 Solothurn, Switzerland.
