Passo Valles from Paneveggio

The SP81 rises 6.7km through mountain forest into exposed high country, gaining 484m to 2,032m. The average gradient of 7.2% disguises ramps of 19.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 6 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. At 2,032m, the summit rises above the treeline into an exposed, often windswept landscape. Located in Veneto, Italy.
