The Barbotto

Route details

The symbolic climb of the Nove Colli, it is relatively short (less than 5 km). From Mercato Saraceno, you will cycle up through inhabited houses and cultivated fields to the beginning of the last km: after a series of tight hairpin bends with a 9% gradient, we must expect 600 very hard metres at about 12% with peaks of 18% which end before the last easy 100 metres of ascent.
