If you're looking for a climb with a punch, this is definitely it! The road is very narrow at times, barely enough for a single car, but luckily, there wasn't a lot of traffic. This climb is tricky because it's quite steep right from the beginning. No problem, you mentally prepare and pace yourself, you start to enjoy the scattered houses and the scenery, only for a 20％ wall at the end that hits you like a brick! I was barely going forward despite being out of the saddle. ... read more

If you're looking for a climb with a punch, this is definitely it!

The road is very narrow at times, barely enough for a single car, but luckily, there wasn't a lot of traffic.

This climb is tricky because it's quite steep right from the beginning. No problem, you mentally prepare and pace yourself, you start to enjoy the scattered houses and the scenery, only for a 20％ wall at the end that hits you like a brick! I was barely going forward despite being out of the saddle. You do get some amazing views though!

I recommend that you keep going forward once you reach the top. You'll have a lovely descent back into Koper, with one or two picturesque tiny villages (and a short but steep climb!) along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grinjan is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
