Alp Lavoz from Solis

Alp Lavoz from Solis is one of cycling's great tests — 13.5km of sustained climbing, gaining 1,131m from base to summit. The average gradient of 8.4% disguises ramps of 19.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 5 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,956m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Grisons, Switzerland.
