The Itzulia Women opens with a route entirely within Gipuzkoa and six climbs that make one thing perfectly clear about the Basque Country: it never stops going uphill.
The first fifty kilometres string together three third-category cols — Itziar, Kalbario and Azkarate — before the route turns inland to face the hardest climb of the day: Santa Águeda (2nd cat., 8 km at 6.8%), 50 km from the finish.
After the descent, the race offers not a moment's respite: Etumeta (3rd cat., 4.5 km at 7.5%) and Garate (3rd cat., 4.6 km at 4.7%) await on the way back to the coast.
