Col de la Loge des Gardes from Saint Clément

The D177 rises 15.6km through rolling hills and mountain roads, gaining 600m to 1,078m. The average gradient of 3.9% disguises ramps of 8.3% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 3 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Auvergne, France.
