Col de Sarenne from Alpe d'Huez

The Route rises 8km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 335m to 2,000m. The average gradient of 4.2% disguises ramps of 11.5% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 6 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 2,000m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Rhone-Alpes, France.
