Monte Baldo via Besagno

The Strada rises 22.6km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 1,482m to 1,617m. The average gradient of 6.6% disguises ramps of 13.4% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 24 hairpin bends define this climb — each switchback a landmark, each straight a test of resolve. The road reaches 1,617m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
