Col de Solpérière from Le Pompidou

The D9 rises 8.2km through rolling hills and mountain roads, gaining 287m to 1,010m. The average gradient of 3.5% disguises ramps of 12.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 4 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Languedoc-Roussillon, France.
