Château de Poncin
Rhone-Alpes, france
At just 0.8km, Château de Poncin is short but deceptively intense — 45m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 5.5%, the road kicks to 8.6% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. The 1 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Rhone-Alpes, France.
- A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
- A gentler outing by France standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
