Orton from Pradis di Sotto

At just 2.8km, Orton from Pradis di Sotto is short but deceptively intense — 172m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6.1% disguises ramps of 14.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy.
