Montée du Grand Hard

Lower Normandy, france

At just 0.7km, Montée du Grand Hard is short but deceptively intense — 31m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 4.4%, the road kicks to 6.9% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Lower Normandy, 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.
