Lago Montagnoli from Carisolo

The Via rises 16km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 992m to 1,801m. The average gradient of 6.2% disguises ramps of 14.3% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 6 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,801m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
