What the climb is like

There are no hairpin rests and no flat stretches. The road climbs through dense forest at 10 to 13 percent for kilometre after kilometre, with the steepest section around the Pantani memorial in the upper half.

How to ride it in Pedalsim

Mortirolo is one of the built-in Pedalsim routes: open it from the button below, or under Pedalsim routes in the app, and ride. Your trainer reproduces every change in its gradient as you climb, and the wind is the live weather at the climb, so a headwind on an exposed section feels like one.

On the 3D map you see the real mountain around you, with its forests, villages and the road winding up ahead, in the season and light of the day you ride. It is on Windows, Android, Linux and the web.

Keep your cadence up and your power steady rather than attacking the steep sections. The climb rewards patience more than strength.
