Via Carona

This short, very steep climb rises above Paradiso in Ticino. Expect 12 to 20 minutes. The hardest 500 metres average 24.9% and start 454 m in, so the worst of it lands when you are already committed. North-facing, so it stays in shade and is the cooler choice on a hot day. At 4.7 TEP it sits around the middle of the catalogue. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care.
