Roche Pessou

Auvergne, france

At just 0.3km, Roche Pessou is short but deceptively intense — 17m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 5%, the road kicks to 8.3% 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 Auvergne, France.

  • A gentler outing by France standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
