La Rippa from Pont de Chazelles

At just 0.5km, La Rippa from Pont de Chazelles is short but deceptively intense — 46m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. A sustained 9.5% average gradient with a maximum of 12.3% makes this a remarkably consistent and demanding ascent. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, France.
