Col de la Couillole from Beuil

The D30 rises 6.2km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 249m to 1,678m. The average gradient of 4% disguises ramps of 11.3% — 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 1,678m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France.
