Tauernpass from Radstadt

The B99 rises 19.8km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 932m to 1,738m. The average gradient of 4.7% disguises ramps of 15.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. This is a climb of endurance — the kind of effort measured in hours, where pacing matters more than power. The road reaches 1,738m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Salzburg, Austria.
