Les Grandes Vaines
Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, france
At just 1.5km, Les Grandes Vaines is short but deceptively intense — 83m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.7% disguises ramps of 12.3% — 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 Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France.
- A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
