Description

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

The Veleta Climb is much more than a challenge: it is a personal conquest. A legendary climb that starts from the valleys of Granada and rises relentlessly to almost 3,100 meters above sea level, crowning the highest point that can be reached by bicycle in Europe.

A unique experience where every meter gained is a victory and every pedal stroke brings you closer to the history of cycling. You don’t climb the Veleta… you conquer it.

The Sierra Nevada Límite SUBIDA AL VELETA is the cyclotourist race with the highest altitude finish line in Europe. A real cyclotourist 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 the Veleta, the Sierra Nevada Límite Subida al Veleta offers a unique cycling experience for all cycling enthusiasts.
