About Sierra Nevada
The road into the Sierra Nevada climbs past the Pradollano ski resort to the Hoya de la Mora at about 2500 m. The Vuelta comes here regularly, and many professionals train at altitude up there.
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.
