Froide Fontaine from Le Tholy

At just 1.9km, Froide Fontaine from Le Tholy is short but deceptively intense — 102m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.3% disguises ramps of 13.7% — 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.
