Zoncolan

Have you seen this beast?


Description:
One of the most difficult climbs in Europe, the Zoncolan has been compared with El Angliru, the fearsome climb in the Spanish region of Asturias. The steepest, 23.6-percent pitch of the Angliru is very short however, being part of a kilometer stretch that averages "only" 17.2 percent. While the Zoncolan has a kilometer of nearly 20%.

The Monte Zoncolan is situated in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Starting from Ovaro, the Monte Zoncolan is 10,5 km long. Over this distance, you climb 1210 heightmeters. The average percentage is thus 11.5 %. Look for other sides to climb the Monte Zoncolan or find all information on climbs and cycling in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
