Turn by turn · 8 steps

1
From the Sant Gregori roundabout head north on the GIV-5311. The first 2 km are false flat — resist the urge to spend anything here.
≈ 1.7 km
2
The climb proper starts at the Rocacorba sign at 2.4 km. Gradient jumps to 7% and stays there.
≈ 3.4 km
3
Hairpins from 4 km to 6 km, averaging 8.2%. Sit down, hold your number, and let the fast group go.
≈ 5.1 km
4
Brief respite at 6.8 km — 3% for about 400 m. This is the only place on the climb to eat.
≈ 6.8 km
5
From 8 km the road narrows and pitches to 9–11% through the trees. Loose gravel on the inside of the left-handers.
≈ 8.5 km
6
The 10 km marker is where most people crack. Ramps of 12% for 300 m, then it eases to 8%.
≈ 10.2 km
7
Last 2 km opens above the treeline. Wind becomes a factor — it is usually a headwind on the final kilometre.
≈ 11.9 km
8
Summit at the antenna masts, 920 m. Descend the same road: brakes cool on the flatter middle section, not the hairpins.
≈ 13.6 km
