I have taken the classic Grosse Pierre countless times from Bresse, Gerardmer, the intermediate alternative. And honestly, I didn't know this variant existed.
It's actually highly recommended. Not for the extra sporting challenge, because in that it is comparable to other sides. But just to avoid the busy passage traffic towards Gerardmer or even towards La Bresse. I even think this will become my regular passage during my transitions between La Bresse and Gerardmer.
