Côte des Hêtres from Mont

At just 1km, Côte des Hêtres from Mont is short but deceptively intense — 47m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.8% disguises ramps of 10.7% — 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 Wallonia, Belgium.
