Mur de Gazard from Route des Crêtes

At just 0.6km, Mur de Gazard from Route des Crêtes is short but deceptively intense — 76m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. At 13.2% average, every metre is earned. The steepest sections touch 17.2%, where the road feels more wall than road. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, France.
