The asphalt in the upper section (above Bambois) was completely resurfaced at the end of August 2024. The road is in perfect condition. Ideal for a nice winding descent. As for the climb: a fine 700m ascent (as far as Champ du Feu), with gradients of around 7％. The road is fairly lightly used by cars: it's much quieter than via Andlau or even Saint-Martin.

It's a fairly sporty and very beautiful climb.
NB: the Charbonnière sector is undergoing works from the end of September to mid-October 2024.

Le bitume dans la partie supérieure (au-dessus de Bambois) a été entièrement refait à neuf fin août 2024. La route est en parfait état. Idéal pour une belle descente sinueuse.
Concernant la montée : belle ascension de 700m de dénivelé (jusqu'au Champ du Feu), avec des pentes autour de 7％. La route est assez peu empruntée par les voitures : elle est bien plus calme que par Andlau voire Saint-Martin.
C'est une montée assez sportive et très belle.
NB : le secteur de la Charbonnière est en travaux de fin septembre à mi-octobre 2024.

Only nice climb on good tarmac, nowhere more than 10％ so here you can turn around well if fitness permits.

Enig mooie klim op goed asfalt, nergens meer dan 10％ dus hier kan je goed ronddraaien als de conditie dat toelaat. Ook altijd lekker in het bos.
