Route de la Manche

Route de la Manche is a power-hike climb above Rougemont in Vaud. Its steepest 500 metres run at 19.8% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. At 3.2 TEP it sits in the easier half of the catalogue. Expect 18 to 30 minutes. The nearest named summit, Dent de Combette at 2,082 m, is 457 m away. South-facing, so it is hot in summer and one of the first to clear of snow.
