Croix Saint Georges from Taintrux

At just 2.4km, Croix Saint Georges from Taintrux is short but deceptively intense — 77m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.2% disguises ramps of 7.2% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Lorraine, France.
