At the beginning it is steep, then it goes down a bit and then it is easy climbing. The descent to La Bresse is not great, because the road surface is bad on the main road and via Traverse la Roche the road is narrow. ... read more

Nice little climb if you spend the night in Gerardmer. Then you will have to go over it once. Just fun, but not really interesting

Not too difficult climb on good asphalt. Of course there are many beautiful climbs in the area, but if you want to go less far and higher than the Ballons, there is also plenty of climbing around La Bresse and Gerardmer.
