Santa Marcella

Tuscany, italy

At just 1.7km, Santa Marcella is short but deceptively intense — 51m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 2.9%, the road kicks to 5.7% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Tuscany, Italy.

  • A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
  • A gentler outing by Italy standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
