Ascent from Fouday.
This is a variant of the ascent via the D57. After Bambois, turn left towards Belmont (D414). This variant is longer than the direct ascent via the D57. It is less difficult.
The road is very quiet, but the surface is not as good as on the D57 (which is not a problem on the way up).
The D414 is not in the forest, so the view towards Schrimeck and the Donon is unobstructed.

Montée à faire depuis Fouday.
C'est une variante de la montée par la D57. Après Bambois prendre à gauche vers Belmont (D414). Cette variante est plus longue que la montée directe par la D57. Elle est moins difficile.
La route est très calme, mais le revêtement est moins bon que sur la D57 (ce n'est pas gênant à la montée).
La D414 n'est pas en forêt, et donc la vue vers Schrimeck et le Donon est dégagée.

One of countless alternatives for climbing the Field of Fire.
Famous in the region for the Bellefosse wall, a 13％ steep climb.
The continuation via Belmont is superb, for enjoying the view, ideal for descents too.
