Passo di Foscagno from Livigno

The 2291 rises 13km through mountain forest into exposed high country, gaining 663m to 2,301m. The average gradient of 5.1% disguises ramps of 10.4% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 5 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. At 2,301m, the summit rises above the treeline into an exposed, often windswept landscape. Located in Lombardy, Italy.
