Côte de Saint-Pierre from Massagette

At just 1.9km, Côte de Saint-Pierre from Massagette is short but deceptively intense — 87m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.6% disguises ramps of 10.4% — 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 Auvergne, France.
