About Vršič Pass
The Vršič (1611 m) is the highest road pass in Slovenia. From Kranjska Gora the hairpins are numbered and partly cobbled on the north side. The road was built during the First World War by Russian prisoners of war.
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.
