Chemin des Pellas

A short, very steep climb above Saint-Michel-les-Portes in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The hardest 500 metres average 21.6% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 15 to 26 minutes. At 4.5 TEP it sits around the middle of the catalogue. Northwest-facing, so it stays cool and holds snow late. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. The nearest named summit, Tête de Gaudissart at 1,489 m, is 866 m away.
