A pleasant little pass with fairly easy gradients. It provides a link from the Vallée Noble to the Vallée de Munster. The villages from Soultzmatt (Wintzfelden and Osenbach) are charming, the road is fairly light and the countryside is beautiful all the way to the pass. Halfway up, you can fork right to reach Gueberschwihr via Osenbuhr.... read more

In 2014, the Tour de France passed here during the 10th stage. Nice climb with some hairpin turns in a wooded area. Little car traffic during my ride in July '23.

Nice simple climb compared to what else there is to climb in the area like this. Nice forest around it and a moderate gradient makes for a good climbing feeling which you can keep until the top

Leuke simpele klim in vergelijking met wat er in de buurt nog zo te beklimmen valt. Mooi bos eromheen en een matige stijgingspercentage zorgt voor een goed klimgevoel wat je tot de top kunt houden

Sympathique petit col avec des pourcentages plutôt abordables. Il permet de rejoindre la vallée de Munster depuis la vallée noble.
Les villages depuis Soultzmatt (Wintzfelden et Osenbach) sont charmants, la route est assez peu fréquentée et la nature est belle jusqu'au col.
A mi-chemin, il est possible de bifurquer à droite pour rejoindre Gueberschwihr en passant par le lieu dit Osenbuhr.

Just cycled from Soultzmatt. Nice trip. Climbing percentages are (for me) pretty good to do. Road surface is good. Used to prepare for next climbing challenges.

Zojuist gefietst vanuit Soultzmatt. Mooie tocht. Klimpercentages zijn (voor mij) redelijk goed te doen. Wegdek goed. Gebruikt ter voorbereiding op volgende klimuitdagingen.

I've also done this col (on 9/9) and is not comparable with the real high cols in the area, but nice climb to nice gradient and beautiful nature, road surface is also very good! I would say that the climb starts earlier in Soultzmatt, then you do the most altimeters and you have a longer climb of about 9km! ;)

Ik heb deze col ook gedaan (op 9/9) en is niet te vergelijken met de echte hoge cols in de buurt, maar wel mooie klim aan mooie stijgingsgraad en mooie natuur, wegdek valt overigens zeer goed mee! Ik zou wel zeggen dat de klim eerder begint in Soultzmatt, dan doe je de meeste hoogtemeters en heb je een langere klim van ongeveer 9km! ;)
