Bois d'Assoumont from Buissenal

At just 1.2km, Bois d'Assoumont from Buissenal is short but deceptively intense — 52m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.3% disguises ramps of 13.5% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Wallonia, Belgium.
