Maria Waldrast from Matrei am Brenner

The Waldraster rises 6.1km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 645m to 1,636m. The average gradient of 10.5% disguises ramps of 21.5% — 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 1,636m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Tyrol, Austria.
