Col de Solaison from Scionzier

The Rue rises 17.6km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 1,058m to 1,508m. The average gradient of 6% disguises ramps of 14.9% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. 12 hairpins punctuate the ascent, offering brief respite in the corners before the gradient bites again. The road reaches 1,508m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Rhone-Alpes, France.
