I came from the Col de Freland and then the Col de Ribeauville. So then you can ride up to Adelspach...then went back and continued towards the Col de Sainte Marie and the Col de Bagenelles. Beautiful scenery but quite busy in some parts.... read more

Ik kwam van de Col de Freland en vervolgens de Col de Ribeauville. Dan kan je dus nog even omhoog rijden naar Adelspach…vervolgens ben terug gegaan en verder richting de Col de Sainte Marie en de Col de Bagenelles. Mooie omgeving maar op sommige stukken vrij druk.

A fairly easy pass, with moderate to gentle gradients.
The road is in very good condition. The route is pleasant, mostly in woodland but with some views over the valleys.
In early October, on a Saturday morning, the road was very quiet.

Col assez facile, avec des pentes modérées voire douces.
La route est en très bon état. Le parcours est agréable, la plupart du temps en forêt mais avec quelques vues sur les vallées.
Début octobre, un samedi matin, la route était très calme.

Nice climb from the village. Nice and gradual and nowhere difficult.

Lekkere klim vanuit het dorp. Mooi geleidelijk en nergens moeilijk.

Very nice climb. Quite long but not very steep. With the Ascension weekend, the region was quite busy, but this climb was not too bad.

Erg mooie klim. Best wel lang maar niet erg steil. Met het hemelvaartweekend was het in de regio best druk, maar deze klim viel mee.

Nice gentle climb, pretty much like the profile above.
The climb itself never gets very steep, I think my Garmin never indicated more than 11%.
Along the way you have nice views, which make the climb more enjoyable.
The top of the climb is undulating, so be sure to agree with your friends where to wait at the top (the sign, the first gite, or the second gite?).

Mooie rustige klim, ongeveer zoals het profiel hierboven.
De klim zelf wordt nooit heel steil, ik denk dat mijn Garmin nooit meer dan 11% aangaf.
Onderweg heb je mooie verzichten, die het klimmen aangenamer maken.
De top van de klim is glooiend, dus spreek goed af met je vrienden waar je boven wacht (het bordje, de eersge gite, of de tweede gite?).
