A climb as beautiful as it is tough, the wall of Cima Gallisterna is a real must for those who pedal. On the asphalt there are still the writings dating back to the 2020 World Cup (won by Julian Alaphilippe and Anna van der Breggen) and the 2021 Italian Men's Championships (won by Sonny Colbrelli). The entire climb measures 2.7 kilometres, with an average gradient of 6.4%, but when you're on the actual wall you'll notice it: the hardest part consists of 1.3 kilometers at an average 11% gradient, with peaks at 16%.

For lovers of 18% climbs this spectacular road on the Romagna hills is absolutely not to be missed. Here the cycling world championship was held in 2020.
