The climbs that shape the race
The track holds one major climb and one major descent. The biggest climb runs from km 5 to km 7: +273 m over 2.3 km at an average of 11.5%. The longest descent drops 253 m over 4.2 km from km 7 (down to Karila), at an average of 6.0%.
Distance, total climb and high point are the organiser's. Each section's climb, descent, grade and high point, the low point and the named climbs are measured on the official GPX with the same method as the interactive profile, so the sections can add up to a slightly different total.
