Alto de Velefique is featured as the penultimate climb on Stage 12 of the Vuelta 2026. Andalusia will receive the peloton of La Vuelta 26 with a tough mountain stage. The traditional double climb formed by Velefique and Calar Alto will mark an important day for the riders fighting for the general classification.
https://www.lavuelta.es/en/stage-12

The Alto de Velefique is widely regarded as one of the most visually stunning and physically demanding mountain passes in the Sierra de los Filabres of Almería. Rising to an elevation of 1,823 meters, the climb from the white-washed village of Velefique is often called the "Spanish Stelvio" due to its incredible series of more than 20 hairpin turns that snake up the barren, sun-baked mountainside. Over a distance of roughly 13 kilometers with an average gradient of nearly 8%, the road provides unobstructed views of the desert-like landscape below, which served as the backdrop for many classic Spaghetti Westerns. The route has frequently featured as a key "Special Category" summit finish in the Vuelta a España, cementing its status as a bucket-list ascent for those seeking a test of endurance amidst a dramatic, lunar-like geography.

The descent toward Tíjola begins by traversing the high-altitude plateau of the Filabres range, often passing near the Tetica de Bacares and the village of Bacares before dropping into the Almanzora Valley. This northward transition shifts the scenery from the arid, southern lunar slopes to slightly greener terrain characterized by expansive almond and olive groves. The road toward Tíjola can be technically engaging and inconsistent, featuring sections with steep ramps and long, fast straights that require precision and focus, especially as the temperature can drop significantly at the higher elevations. Ending in the valley, the descent completes a massive vertical transition that showcases the rugged diversity of Almería’s mountain interior.

Cheers!

Tadej Pogačar is returning to the Vuelta a España. UAE Team Emirates officially confirmed on Monday that their leader will target the Spanish Grand Tour in pursuit of a historic Tour-Vuelta double. Sharing co-leadership with João Almeida, Pogačar returns to the race for the first time since his 2019 debut. The news comes just weeks after Pogačar’s commanding Tour de France triumph, where he claimed his record-equaling fifth yellow jersey and obliterated the long-standing climbing record on Alpe d'Huez during Stage 19.

Alto de Velefique is featured as the penultimate climb on Stage 12 of the Vuelta 2026. Andalusia will receive the peloton of La Vuelta 26 with a tough mountain stage. The traditional double climb formed by Velefique and Calar Alto will mark an important day for the riders fighting for the general classification.

The Alto de Velefique is widely considered the crown jewel of cycling in Almería, often referred to as the "Spanish Stelvio" or "Alpe d’Huez of the South" due to its stunning array of hairpins. Geographically, it is part of the Sierra de los Filabres range, rising from the desert floor to an elevation of 1,822 meters. The landscape is a stark, treeless "lunar" environment that provides unobstructed views of the road snaking below you, with the distant Mediterranean and the Tabernas Desert visible from the upper slopes. Historically, this pass has gained legendary status through the Vuelta a España, serving as a brutal "Especial" (Hors Categorie) summit finish, most recently in 2021 when it hosted the first major GC showdown of the race.

For cycling, the Alto de Velefique is a relentless test of both legs and lungs, especially when the characteristic Almerian heat reflects off the bare rock. The "official" climb from the white-washed village of Velefique spans roughly 13 kilometers with a steady average gradient of 7.8%, though the first 4 kilometers are particularly punishing with sections hitting 13–14%. The route is defined by its 20 to 25 perfectly engineered switchbacks—depending on where you start your watch—which provide a rhythmic, almost hypnotic climbing experience. Reaching the summit feels like standing on the edge of the world, offering a 360-degree panorama that transitions from the high-altitude pine forests of the nearby Calar Alto observatory to the sun-scorched badlands you left behind in the valley.

Cheers!

Passo di Predil, a new ride from Italy is now available online!

Passo di Predil, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy

Avg Grade: 3.49 %
Max cat climb: 2
Min elevation: 717 m
Max elevation: 1157 m
Ride Category: Climb

Passo di Predil is a historic mountain crossing in the Julian Alps, serving as a gateway between Italy’s Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenia’s Soca Valley. The Italian side starts in the town of Tarvisio, winding through the scenic Canal Valley and alongside the crystal-clear Slizza Creek. The landscape is defined by the towering presence of Mount Mangart to the north and Mount Kanin to the south. Historically, this pass was a vital military artery, evidenced today by the ruins of Austrian fortifications and a poignant monument of a dying lion, which commemorates the soldiers who defended the pass against Napoleonic forces in 1809.

Cycling from Italy offers a steady and picturesque journey that passes the stunning Lago del Predil, a cold, emerald-green lake surrounded by dense pine forests. This side is less steep than the Slovenian approach, making it an ideal choice for capturing long, stable shots of the high-alpine scenery and the dramatic peaks of the Cinque Punte. The road is notably wide and historically significant, leading past the old mining village of Cave del Predil. The summit is marked by abandoned border crossings that now feel like an open-air museum, offering a quiet, atmospheric location before the dramatic descent toward the turquoise Soca River.

Blenio Valley, a new ride from Switzerland is now available online!

Blenio Valley, Ticino, Switzerland
https://bigringvr.com/ride?rideid=2879

Avg Grade: 1.9 %
Max cat climb: 2
Min elevation: 252 m
Max elevation: 775 m
Ride Category: Hilly

The Blenio Valley, affectionately known as the "Valley of the Sun" (Valle del Sole), is a dramatic alpine corridor carved by the Brenno River, stretching from the sunny lowlands of Biasca up to the historic village of Olivone. Geographically, the valley is framed by the towering peaks of the Adula Massif to the east, including the Rheinwaldhorn, which stands as the highest point in Ticino at 3,402 meters. This microclimate offers significantly more sunshine than neighboring regions, allowing vineyards to flourish in the lower reaches before the landscape yields to the rugged granite of the surrounding Alps. Historically, the region was defined by a "dual economy": while women managed the agricultural terraces, men emigrated to become master confectioners across Europe, eventually returning to build the grand, neoclassical "Emigrant Villas" that still characterize Olivone today.

Cycling through this sun-drenched landscape offers a vertical journey through time, as riders follow a route past the ruins of Serravalle Castle and the Romanesque frescoes of San Carlo di Negrentino. The path mirrors the trajectory of a dismantled railway line, providing a steady pull toward the upper valley where the silhouette of the pyramid-shaped Sosto mountain dominates the skyline above Olivone. As the asphalt transitions into ancient mule tracks and forest trails, the terrain becomes a rugged playground for mountain bikers, winding between the steep flanks of peaks like Cima di Gana Bianca and Pizzo di Cassimoi. This blend of historical landmarks and challenging alpine geography makes the stretch to Olivone a centerpiece of the valley’s enduring rural heritage.

Cheers!

Col de Joux Plane (North side), a new ride from France is now available online!

Avg Grade: 4.82 %
Max cat climb: HC

Max elevation: 1687 m
Ride Category: Climb

The Col de Joux Plane acts as a dramatic geographic boundary between the Giffre and Dranse valleys, rising to a height of 1,691 meters in the limestone-rich Chablais Alps. Formed by ancient glacial movements, the pass sits atop a high-altitude plateau where the Lac de Joux Plane provides a rare, tranquil alpine mirror for the surrounding peaks. Historically, this rugged terrain was the domain of shepherds moving livestock to high summer pastures (alpage), long before the mountain road was paved in the mid-20th century to connect the market town of Samoëns to the alpine hub of Morzine.

In the lore of the Tour de France, the Joux Plane is notorious as a "king-maker" where the steep gradients and the treacherous, high-speed descent into Morzine have decided several yellow jerseys. It has been featured over a dozen times since its 1978 debut, most notably serving as the site of a rare 2000 collapse for Lance Armstrong and the high-speed 2023 showdown between Pogacar and Vingegaard. Because the pass is often buried in heavy snow and closed to vehicles from November to April, it reverts to its wilder geographic roots in the winter, serving as a pristine Nordic skiing plateau that remains a pilgrimage site for those seeking the ultimate "balcony" view of Mont Blanc.

Cheers!

Avg Grade: -0.32 %
Max cat climb: 4
Min elevation: 462 m
Max elevation: 594 m
Ride Category: Rollers

The Salzach Valley is a dramatic alpine corridor where the "white gold" of salt history meets modern, world-class cycling. Carved by the turquoise Salzach River, the valley served for centuries as the primary trade route for the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg, who amassed immense wealth by transporting salt from the prehistoric mines of Hallein toward the capital. This rich past is visible today in the form of towering medieval fortifications like Hohenwerfen Castle, which still guards the "Pass Lueg" bottleneck, and the historic market towns that dot the riverbanks, offering a glimpse into a time when the valley was the strategic heartbeat of the Holy Roman Empire. Today, this historical artery is best experienced from the saddle of a bike via the Tauern Cycle Path (Tauernradweg), one of Europe’s most iconic long-distance routes.

The road runs mostly downhill from the towering Krimml Waterfalls through the valley, providing a smooth and paved journey. Cyclists are treated to a rolling panorama of the Tennengebirge mountains and the misty depths of the Salzachöfen Gorge, where the river thunders through narrow limestone walls. Whether you’re making a quick day trip from Salzburg to the Celtic town of Hallein or embarking on a multi-day alpine tour, the valley remains an effortless blend of rugged nature and refined Austrian heritage.

Max elevation: 3120 m
Ride Category: Climb

Lizard Head Pass is a scenic high mountain pass situated in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, reaching an elevation of 10,222 feet (3,116 meters). Located on the border between San Miguel and Dolores counties along State Highway 145, it is named after the nearby Lizard Head Peak, a dramatic 400-foot volcanic rock spire that resembles the head of a lizard. The pass serves as a stunning vantage point, offering panoramic views of several "fourteeners," including Mount Wilson, Wilson Peak, and El Diente Peak.

The area surrounding the pass is a centerpiece of the Lizard Head Wilderness within the Uncompahgre and San Juan National Forests. It is characterized by diverse alpine terrain, featuring expansive meadows that come alive with wildflowers in the summer and golden aspen groves in the autumn. Historically, the pass was a critical route for the Rio Grande Southern Railroad and its famous "Galloping Goose" railcars. Today, it remains a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, providing access to numerous hiking trails, photography spots, and high-altitude cross-country skiing.

Sierra de Cabo de Gata, a new ride from Andalucía, Spain is now available online!

Sierra de Cabo de Gata, Andalucía, Spain
https://bigringvr.com/ride?rideid=2922

Distance: 15.57 km
Elevation Gain: 239 m

Difficulty: 202 (Easy)
FIETS Index: 0.98 FIETS

Avg Grade: 4.78 %
Max cat climb: 3
Min elevation: 54 m
Max elevation: 258 m
Ride Category: Hilly

The Sierra de Cabo de Gata is the most extensive calc-alkaline volcanic complex in the Iberian Peninsula, a fossilized massif born from submarine eruptions 15 million years ago. Geographically, it forms a stark, semi-arid coastline in Almería where jagged andesite cliffs and volcanic domes plunge directly into the Mediterranean. Historically, this landscape has been a crossroads for Mediterranean civilizations; the Phoenicians mined its agates, the Greeks built temples on its heights, and the Romans established fish-salting factories along its shores. For centuries, the region remained sparsely populated due to its water-starved terrain and the threat of pirate raids, which necessitated the construction of the defensive watchtowers and castles that still dot the horizon.

For cycling, the Sierra offers an undulating landscape that demands respect for the elements, particularly the powerful Levante winds. The terrain is characterized by steady climbs that weave through ancient calderas and abandoned gold mining villages like Rodalquilar. Riding through this UNESCO Global Geopark means navigating a desert-like environment of agaves and the only native palm in Europe, the dwarf fan palm. The route creates a physical connection to a volcanic history visible in every dark crag and fossilized dune. The climb out of Las Negras serves as a gateway where the maritime volcanic crags give way to the vast, silent horizons of the Níjar plains.

Cheers!

Upper Soca Valley, a new ride from Slovenia is now available online!

Upper Soca Valley, Tolmin, Slovenia

Difficulty: 136 (Easy)

Max cat climb: 3

Max elevation: 617 m
Ride Category: Rollers

The Upper Soca Valley is a dramatic alpine corridor carved by the emerald-turquoise waters of the Soca River. It stretches from the Bovec basin into the narrow, horseshoe-shaped Trenta Valley, set deep between the limestone massifs of the Julian Alps, including Triglav and Jalovec. This secluded alpine region was transformed into a major theater of war during World War I, serving as a strategic frontline for the Austro-Hungarian army. Today, its heritage is a blend of these military echoes—preserved in cemeteries and fortifications—and the ancient folklore of Zlatorog, the mythical Goldenhorn chamois said to guard the high peaks.

For cyclists, the valley provides one of Europe’s most scenic "false flat" rides, serving as the essential 20-kilometer approach from Bovec to the foot of the Vršic Pass. The route features a gentle gradient that follows the river’s winding path, passing landmarks like the Great Soca Gorge where limestone walls narrow into deep, crystalline pools. This stretch is a tactical favorite, allowing riders to maintain a steady pace and warm up before reaching the village of Trenta. Once there, the road abruptly tilts upward at the first of 26 technical hairpins, signaling the start of the grueling ascent to the 1,611-meter summit.

Cheers!
