The easiest black runs in the Pyrenees

The 20 black runs in the Pyrenees whose steepest stretch is the gentlest. By the ATUDEM and AFNOR criteria, a gradient over 40% is black-run terrain; Rhodos, Rododendres at Font-Romeu Pyrénées 2000 tops out at 23% (13°) over its steepest 50 m. Official grades also weigh width, exposure and snow, so a gentle black can still be a black.
