Passo Brocon (1616 m) is a pass in the Lagorai range of eastern Trentino, carrying the SP79 between the Tesino plateau and the Vanoi valley; the road over it was built between 1905 and 1908. The most-ridden cycling side climbs from Castello Tesino through near-continuous fir forest, with a steep ramp out of the village, a flat middle section, and a hard wooded finale. It gained wider attention when the 2024 Giro d'Italia crossed it, the final two kilometres averaging around 12%.
