Descent from Mendel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Motorcycle traffic is hell here.
We drive this pass, if ever again, ONLY in the morning at 6 or 7 a.m.
Everything else is madness.
It's a shame about the beautiful pass

April 12, 2025,🇮🇹 Mendel-Race 🚴

From Caldaro, the Mendola Pass offers an altitude difference of almost exactly 1000 meters. The route runs with a very balanced and rather moderate gradient, first through the vines, then partly through mixed and ravine forest, in the middle part also quite daring and much narrower through the rock faces of the east flank of Monte Penegal.

Once at the top, there's another steep climb to the right (at around 18% in places) to the Penegal Pass.
The view extends from the Seceda, Odle Peaks, Sciliar, and …
