Route de Couvette
Rhone-Alpes, france
At just 1.2km, Route de Couvette is short but deceptively intense — 50m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.1% disguises ramps of 8.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Rhone-Alpes, 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.
