Col de Braus by Bike – 24 Hairpins on a Tour de France Climb (4K)

Col de Braus from L’Escarène: 9.8 km at 6.4 %, 629 m up to 999 m. A Tour de France classic above Nice – it winds up through 24 hairpins, with seven of them packed into less than a kilometre around km 6.5. The hardest kilometre comes early (8.5 % from km 2 to 3), then one easier kilometre before the hairpins take you to the top.

Tour history: René Vietto led the 1934 Tour over Braus on the way to winning the stage in Cannes. In the 2024 Tour, Braus was the first climb of the final mountain stage from Nice, and Enric Mas was first over the top.
