Kiemel via Stockem

At just 1.9km, Kiemel via Stockem is short but deceptively intense — 70m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.7% disguises ramps of 9.4% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 1 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Ardennes, Belgium.
