La Colle from Les Esquateirades

2485.2 m · net rise 67.2 m · total ascent 111.0 m · overall 2.7% · evidence quality B (good) · Sanary-sur-Mer · Var · share

Shape: stepped — 47% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 42 m.

Not yet matched against documented climbs — the measurement stands on its own.

This climb's data: OCL JSON — the full gradient ladder, quality flags and provenance in the OpenClimb Ladder format.

Surface: paved (1% unpaved), according to BD TOPO®, IGN's national topographic database: unpaved for the first 20 m; paved from 20 m to the top. The steepest 25 m lies on the paved part.

Access: Listed 2026-09-25 (inventory hunt wave 1): road audit — barrier lift_gate (no access tag) 248.1 m off route; barrier lift_gate (no access tag) 0.0 m off route. Never silently ranked or dropped (Peter, 2026-08-27).

Measured, not vetted. This page records what the laser record shows about the road's shape — nothing more. Nobody has necessarily ridden or inspected this road for the survey, and a page here is not a recommendation and no guarantee that the road is open, surfaced, rideable or safe. Gates, private sections, missing rights of way and hazards do not show up in elevation data. Check access and conditions on the ground and make your own judgment.

Profile

The map, profile and gradient chart share one position — move your pointer over them and the marker follows. Colors are the gradient bands; the shaded span is the steepest 25 m. Any 25 m figure is good to about a point either way (why).
