Description

The Pico Veleta from Pinos Genil is Europe's highest and longest cycling climb: 40.4 kilometers starting from the small town of Pinos Genil, on the outskirts of Granada, and climbing relentlessly to the 3,384 meters of the summit, through the white, windswept expanses of the Andalusian Sierra Nevada. A climb that is not only measured by the legs: above 3,000 meters, you enter a world without vegetation, with snow at the roadside and the Mediterranean on the horizon.

The 2,742 meters of elevation gain accumulate in three distinct phases. The first 30 kilometers to Hoya de la Mora (2,510 m) climb with an average gradient of 5.5% — continuous but manageable. Then the road closes to traffic and the last 13 kilometers reserved for cyclists begin: the gradient rises to 8%, the air becomes thin and every watt feels twice as heavy. The average gradient of 6.8% does not convey the impact of altitude: at 3,000 meters, the perceived effort is incomparable to any other European climb.

The Vuelta a España has repeatedly reached these altitudes, with stage finishes at Hoya de la Mora which for years represented the highest point ever touched by a major stage race. Every summer, the Subida al Veleta attracts hundreds of cyclists from all over Europe with a single goal: to reach the summit of the continent's highest paved road. Those who make it down are convinced that they have climbed something unique — and they are probably right.
