Vico di Elsa via Via Zambra

At just 1.5km, Vico di Elsa via Via Zambra is short but deceptively intense — 111m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 7.5%, the road kicks to 11.5% at its steepest — a testing gradient that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Tuscany, Italy.
