A very short but very violent climb (you need to save some to avoid exploding). 3 really steep sections (~11/14％ avg. - max. 18％ on the last one) interspersed with "replats" to turn your legs. Tarmac good but not incredible. Very little traffic. 4* for the sport but 2* for the scenery (panorama from the summit with the Vosges in the distance).... read more

A very short but very violent climb (you need to save some to avoid exploding).
3 really steep sections (~11/14％ avg. - max. 18％ on the last one) interspersed with "replats" to turn your legs.
Tarmac good but not incredible. Very little traffic.

4* for the sport but 2* for the scenery (panorama from the summit with the Vosges in the distance).

Ascension très courte mais très violente (il faut en garder pour éviter d'exploser)
3 passages vraiment raides (~11/14％ avg. - max. 18％ sur le dernier) entrecoupés de "replats" pour tourner les jambes.
Bitume bon sans être incroyable. Route très peu fréquentée.

4* pour le sportif mais 2* pour le paysage (panorama au sommet avec les Vosges au loin)
