Monte Botte Donato from Rovale

The Strada rises 10.4km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 604m to 1,867m. The average gradient of 5.8% disguises ramps of 12.2% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 8 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,867m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Calabria, Italy.
