A Strava-powered catalogue for discovering and collecting road-cycling climbs across France, ranked from Category 4 to hors catégorie.

Why it surfaced

Mythicol turns every recorded ascent into a collectible, with 109,478 climbs mapped across all 94 French departments. Its examples range from a modest Finistère rise to the Col d’Aubisque and Mont Ventoux, giving the project a strong local-to-legendary sense of place—even though the site is currently inviting riders onto a waitlist.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-10 Domain Arrivals issue.
