Les Pâtureaux from Les Bouyolles

At just 0.8km, Les Pâtureaux from Les Bouyolles is short but deceptively intense — 52m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 6.3%, the road kicks to 11.4% at its steepest — a testing gradient that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, France.
