Passo di Valcava, Mountain pass and scenic viewpoint at 1340 meters in Lombardia, Italy
The Valico di Valcava extends across 11.8 kilometers of winding road, connecting San Martino Valley in Lecco province with Imagna Valley in Bergamo province.
The mountain pass gained recognition in professional cycling during the 1986 Giro di Lombardia, where Laurent Fignon encountered significant difficulties on its steep gradients.
Professional cyclists regularly test their abilities on this challenging route, which features prominently in major Italian cycling competitions including the Giro d'Italia.
The route includes several demanding sections with gradients reaching 18 percent, requiring cyclists to carefully plan their ascent and bring appropriate gear.
A specific section located 4 kilometers from the peak presents an intense wall-like climb that forces many cyclists to dismount their bikes.
