Côte de la Violais
Brittany, france
At just 1.2km, Côte de la Violais is short but deceptively intense — 46m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.8% disguises ramps of 9.6% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Brittany, France.
- A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
- A gentler outing by France standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
