Embark on a challenging road cycling adventure with The climb of Villanova Monteleone from Alghero — ring tour, covering 35.7 miles (57.4 km) and gaining 2999 feet (914 metres) in elevation. This difficult route takes around 2 hours and 53 minutes to complete, offering spectacular coastal views, especially around its 9 hairpin turns. You will see the panoramic Gulf of Alghero as the landscape shifts from olive-green volcanic rock to striking red, jagged formations.
Planning your ride, be aware that this route demands a good level of fitness due to its length and significant elevation changes. The asphalt is generally in excellent condition, ensuring a smooth ride for most of the way. While this specific climb is mostly paved, some extended touring routes in the wider Alghero area might include unpaved segments, so plan accordingly if you venture further.
This route is one of the most popular touring cycling options in the region, known for blending dramatic coastal scenery with a substantial climbing challenge. It is notable for hosting Italy's only colony of griffon vultures, offering a chance to spot these magnificent birds. The dynamic landscape, featuring both coastal beauty and mountainous terrain with panoramic viewpoints, makes this a memorable ride.
