Les Bessades Est

Auvergne, france

At just 2km, Les Bessades Est is short but deceptively intense — 74m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 3.6%, the road kicks to 5.5% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. 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.
