Route de la Croix de Coeur

A short, very steep climb above Verbier in Valais. The hardest 500 metres average 22.5% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 14 to 24 minutes. At 4.6 TEP it sits around the middle of the catalogue. Southeast-facing, so it takes the morning sun and clears of snow earlier in spring. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. The nearest named summit, Tournelle at 2,219 m, is 157 m away.

TEP: 4.6
Climb: +222 m
