Chemin du Lioson

A short, very steep climb above Ormont-Dessous in Vaud. The hardest 500 metres average 28.7% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 18 to 30 minutes. At 9.0 TEP it is harder than 76% of the climbs in the catalogue. North-facing, so it holds shade and snow longer than the sunny side of the valley. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. The nearest named summit, La Rionde at 2,086 m, is 643 m away.
