Chemin des Echardons
Auvergne, france
At just 0.9km, Chemin des Echardons is short but deceptively intense — 44m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 4.8%, the road kicks to 8.1% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, 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.
