Col de Finiels from Le Bleymard

The D20 rises 11.1km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 482m to 1,543m. The average gradient of 4.3% disguises ramps of 10.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 5 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,543m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Languedoc-Roussillon, France.
