Climb to Alto de Velefique

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

El Alto de Velefique is one of Almería's most notable ascents, known for its long ramps, quiet roads, and a series of well-spaced hairpin turns. The gradients are consistent, often between 4% and 5%, with occasional sections exceeding 10%, making the climb a sustained yet achievable effort.

The ascent offers sweeping views of the Sierra de los Filabres and a sense of isolation ideal for focusing on your pedaling. Its layout and landscape are reminiscent of the famous Alpe d’Huez, although it is a less-trafficked and much quieter route.
