The Giro d’Italia climb Cividale - Castelmonte (P003)

A stage of the 2022 Giro d'Italia finished for the first time at the shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Castelmonte. It is not a particularly demanding climb with an average gradient of 6%, but it does reserve some climbs of over 10%. It is 7.5 kilometres long and is ridden by thousands of amateur cyclists, sportsmen, and cycling tourists every year. The climb begins at Carraria (altitude 139 metres), on the outskirts of Cividale, and climbs up the slopes of the hills to the east of the ducal town, among clearings and woods, with irregular gradients and a short downhill section after 3 kilometres.
