La Gaudière

Auvergne, france

At just 0.8km, La Gaudière is short but deceptively intense — 43m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.5% disguises ramps of 12.4% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. 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.
