About Mendola Pass
The Mendola Pass (Mendelpass, 1363 m) is the local climb for riders from Bolzano. From Kaltern/Caldaro the road climbs in hairpins through vineyards and forest.
In rampida you ride the route exactly as it lies on the road: the gradient reaches your trainer metre by metre, the scenery is built from real elevation data and OpenStreetMap. A pacer group can pull you along, and next time you race your own ghost.
