Fouillouse from Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye

The D25 rises 7.9km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 460m to 1,914m. The average gradient of 5.8% disguises ramps of 13.5% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 4 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,914m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France.
