Capornia climb is a little steep climb just behind Florence, on the very first hills outside the Careggi Hospital area. If you want to immerse yourself in the countryside being very close to the city, both walking or cycling, this is the place for you!

Nice climb, not to long, and not to much traffic close to the city of Firenze

Not too long a ride but with challenging sections.
The climb begins at the Oblate roundabout beyond the Careggi hospital.
Follow the climb that goes towards Canonica along a road with very little traffic. The climb is not constant but is dotted with several steep climbs with gradients well over 10%, some sections at 15/16%. We continue until a crossroads where we will turn left then, after a few meters of flat road we will turn right towards Via di Feliceto
Here the slopes become more important so much so that in the last climb the computer will mark a good 22%!!
Once in Montorsoli we enter via Bolognese where the climb becomes a little easier until the crossroads on the left, but we can also continue straight on to reach Pratolino, which will take us to the former sanatorium with yet another climb at 14 %. Once at the top we turn right towards Pratolino
Here we take the road that leads in the direction of Bivigliano, a valley with no challenging climbs.
After a few km we will find a roundabout where we will continue straight on following the signs for Montesenario and immediately a large straight ahead of a few hundred meters awaits us which rises to 14/15%, then the road continues going up slightly and even flattening out in some stretches, you will find a couple more climbs but nothing major until the crossroads that lead to the convent.
And here the road begins to drag, with peaks of 12/14%, in the middle of the forest until the final straight road which takes you directly to the steps of the church!
A wonderful place where we can have a coffee or, if you go in winter or autumn, enjoy the absolute silence of the place!
From here, wear a cape because it will be an all-downhill dive until Florence
