Chemin des Noirards

At just 1.7km, Chemin des Noirards is short but deceptively intense — 83m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.9% disguises ramps of 9.9% — 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 Bourgogne, France.
