la Grande Maison

A long, mostly runnable climb above La Léchère in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The hardest 500 metres average 12.0% and start 3.6 km in, in the middle of the climb, so pace the first part. Facing southeast, it catches the morning sun and loses its snow earlier than most. Most runners need 48 to 81 minutes. Its 2.1 TEP puts it in the easier half of the catalogue. Graded as a hiking trail, so fitness matters more than footing.
