Côte de Besses
Auvergne, france
At just 2.5km, Côte de Besses is short but deceptively intense — 134m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.3% disguises ramps of 11.5% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. Located in Auvergne, France.
- Higher summit than 88% of climbs in France.
- A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
