Lovely gentle climb. Starts gently and gets a bit steeper later, but never difficult. Past a super small ski area :-)... read more

Lovely gentle climb. Starts gently and gets a bit steeper later, but never difficult. Past a super small ski area :-)

Heerlijke rustige klim. Begint rustig en wordt later wat steiler, maar nooit lastig. Langs een superklein skigebied :-)

Very nice and gentle climb, which gradually builds up and is ideal for those who want to climb for a while.

Zeer mooie en rustige klim, die geleidelijk aan opbouwt en ideaal is voor wie een tijdje wil klimmen.

A very nice climb from Le Valtin (the start is just a false flat), never difficult, beautiful views and calm...
A good way to reach the Col de la Schlucht and the route des crêtes.

Une très belle montée à partir du Valtin (le début n'est qu'un faux plat), jamais difficile, de belles vues et calme...
Un bon moyen d'accéder au col de la Schlucht et à la route des crêtes.
