Tour du Roc des Tours
A short, power-hike climb above Glières-Val-de-Borne in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The hardest 500 metres average 22.5% and start 366 m in, in the middle of the climb, so pace the first part. Northeast-facing: morning sun only, and snow lingers into spring. Most runners need 12 to 21 minutes. At 3.5 TEP it sits in the easier half of the catalogue. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. The nearest named summit, Le Buclon at 2,072 m, is 497 m away.
