Description
Ladiairo-Marabón is one of the hardest climbs that can be done in Sanabria. It is made up of a very tough initial climb, Ladiairo (2.2 km at 9.4%) and another final climb, Marabón (3.29 km at 9.2%). In between we have a leg-breaking terrain with an upward trend in which each col is at a higher altitude than the previous one, as well as each valley, so that the whole can be considered as a single pass linked by a transition terrain.
Another point in favour of this pass is the exceptional variation of landscapes along it. A highly recommendable climb that will require us to give our all on the demanding Marabón ramps, which rise up to a terrifying 21% on the straight that will make us squirm on the bike.
