Côte du Bois

Auvergne, france

At just 1.6km, Côte du Bois is short but deceptively intense — 54m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 3.4%, the road kicks to 6.5% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, 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.
