Fairly short pass with moderate gradients at 6-7%. The road is in good condition, despite a few stones here and there: not a nuisance on the way up, but take care on the way down, especially as the route is quite winding and the road sometimes narrow. The road is quiet and the surrounding scenery is very beautiful, as is the whole of this sector.... read more

Col assez court avec des pentes modérées à 6-7%.
La route est en bon état, malgré quelques cailloux çà et là : pas gênant à la montée, mais faire attention à la descente, d'autant que le parcours est assez sinueux et la route parfois étroite.
La route est calme et le paysage environnant est très beau, comme l'ensemble de ce secteur.

Very nice climb on a very good road. The first two kilometres don't really count, 4.6km really for an average gradient of 6.4% according to the Strava segment. Signs present on the climb.

Très jolie montée sur une route de très bonne qualité. Les deux premiers kilomètres ne comptent pas réellement, 4,6km réellement pour une pente moyenne de 6.4% d'après le segment Strava. Panneaux présents sur la montée.

A climb that only starts after the village of Rombach-le-Franc, where there are several fountains to fill your water bottles. A road with many bends to keep you awake.
A real pass to link two valleys and to go and find more demanding climbs on the side of Villé.

Une montée qui ne commence en fait qu'après le village de Rombach-le-Franc, où l'on trouve plusieurs fontaines pour charger ses bidons. Une route avec des virages nombreux pour tenir éveillé.
Un vrai col pour relier deux vallées et aller chercher des montées plus exigeante du côté de Villé.

Beautiful climb on a good road. Not too steep and the beginning doesn't really count. Beautiful surroundings and very quiet. The road surface has recently been renewed, there is still a lot of gravel. Be careful when descending.

Prachtig klimmetje over een goede weg. Niet al te steil en het begin telt eigenlijk niet mee. Mooie omgeving en heerlijk rustig. Het wegdek is recentelijk vernieuwd, er ligt nog veel steenslag. Even uitkijken met afdalen.
