About Transalpina
The Transalpina is the highest paved road in Romania, reaching about 2145 m at the Urdele Pass. From Novaci it climbs a long way past the Rânca ski resort to the open ridge.
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.
