Passo San Pellegrino from Cencenighe

The SS346 rises 18.3km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 1,155m to 1,918m. The average gradient of 6.3% disguises ramps of 15.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 20 hairpin bends define this climb — each switchback a landmark, each straight a test of resolve. The road reaches 1,918m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Veneto, Italy.
