Description

Only a few places in the world can offer a road that takes you up to the sky.

The Subida al Veleta is much more than a challenge: it is a personal conquest. A legendary climb that starts in the valleys of Granada and rises relentlessly to an altitude of almost 3,100 metres, crowning the highest point that can be reached by bicycle in the whole of Europe.

A unique experience where every metre gained is a victory and every pedal stroke brings you closer to cycling history. El Veleta is not climbed… it is conquered.

The Sierra Nevada Límite SUBIDA AL VELETA is the cyclotourism event with the highest altitude finish line in Europe. A real cyclotourism challenge where the lovers of two wheels will face one of the longest mountain passes in Europe with more than 38km of ascent, with a positive difference in altitude of 2250m and an altitude of 3100m.

With a spectacular route from Cenes De la Vega to the foot of Veleta, the Sierra Nevada Límite Subida al Veleta offers a unique cycling experience for all cycling enthusiasts.
