The 2 most prominent climbs in Ethiopia. Color is category; the two ringed marks are the longest and the steepest.

Ethiopia rewards riders who love altitude. Two catalogued climbs stretch across this highland country, and while neither carries an hors catégorie rating, the thin air alone makes them a serious test. With a summit reaching 2,591 metres, the challenge here is less about brutal ramps and more about sustained effort in air that leaves your lungs working overtime. It is a destination for cyclists who want to feel the elevation in every pedal stroke rather than simply read it off a map.

The two marquee ascents frame the experience. The Blue Nile Gorge is a long, exposed descent-and-climb through dramatic terrain, a signature route that demands patience and steady pacing. Closer to the heights, Entoto offers a cleaner, climbing challenge with commanding views over the surrounding country. Together they give Ethiopia a compact but memorable catalogue, ideal for riders chasing high, honest climbs away from the crowded roads of more familiar cycling destinations.
