Embark on a challenging racebike ascent to Campo Imperatore from the Fonte Cerreto cable car, a difficult ride spanning 33.6 miles (54.1 km) with a significant 4374 feet (1333 metres) of elevation gain. This route takes you through stunning medieval hamlets before climbing into the wild Gran Sasso National Park. As you ascend, trees give way to the vast, high-altitude Campo Imperatore plateau, often called "Little Tibet," where you will see endless meadows, flocks of sheep, and wild horses, all set against the jagged peaks of the Gran Sasso d'Italia massif. Expect gradients typically between 6% and 8%, intensifying in the final kilometers, making this a demanding 3 hours and 10 minutes on the saddle. On clear days, you can even see the Adriatic Sea from the summit.
This road cycling route requires very good fitness due to its sustained and often steep gradients. Be prepared for potential exposure to strong winds once you reach the expansive Campo Imperatore plateau, which can add to the challenge. While the research does not specify trailhead access or seasonal closures, it is wise to check local conditions and weather forecasts before attempting this high-altitude climb, especially outside of peak cycling season.
The ascent to Campo Imperatore is notable for its unique high-altitude landscapes and its place in cycling history, having been a significant stage finish in the Giro d'Italia multiple times, including Marco Pantani's memorable victory in 1999. The plateau's distinct ecosystem, with its open spaces and imposing mountain backdrop, offers a truly unique experience. At the summit, the Hotel Campo Imperatore also holds historical significance as the site of Benito Mussolini's imprisonment during World War II.

Svær landevejscykling. Kræver meget god kondition. For det meste velbelagte overflader og let at køre på.
