Les Saliens

Auvergne, france

At just 1.1km, Les Saliens is short but deceptively intense — 47m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The gradient averages 4.5% — manageable for most riders, though the cumulative effort builds. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, France.

  • Higher summit than 89% of climbs in 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.
