Miragolo San Salvatore from Case di Sopra

At just 1.6km, Miragolo San Salvatore from Case di Sopra is short but deceptively intense — 116m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 7.1% disguises ramps of 14.3% — 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 Lombardy, Italy.
