Bucket-List Print: Ermita de la Victoria
The Ermita de la Victoria in Mallorca is a short but rewarding climb with 117 metres of elevation gain. Starting and finishing in Bonaire, the route winds up to a 17th-century hermitage perched above the Bay of Pollença. It is one of those climbs that punches well above its Category 4 weight.
Furthermore, the Ermita de la Victoria has become a staple in the training camps that fill Mallorca every winter. Professional teams and serious amateurs alike include it in their routes because it offers a sharp effort in a compact 2.2 km. However, the 11% maximum gradient catches many riders off guard on the steepest ramps.
