Just a few km through and you're up. Do not underestimate this is the steep side of the morbieux. The street name is called rue de morbieux. But a small gem!... read more

The road surface is good, with very little traffic. It’s a narrow road, mostly through the woods, especially the second and steepest section. It starts off very pleasant, but after 2.5 km, you’ll be hovering around the 10% grade for about 2 km, with short spikes up to 14%. The climb was surprisingly tougher than expected but definitely doable for someone with some basic fitness. The descent to Saulxures-sur-Moselotte was entirely through the woods. It’s a narrow road that starts and ends with decent road quality, but after picking up some speed at the beginning, you suddenly hit much rougher asphalt, so caution is advised.
Ok wegdek met bijzonder weinig verkeer. Smalle weg, grotendeels in het bos, zeker het 2e en steilste deel. Begint heel aangenaam, maar na 2,5 km flirt je een 2-tal km met de 10%-grens met korte pieken tot 14%. Klim was verassend zwaarder dan gedacht maar zeker te doen voor iemand met wat basis. De afdaling naar Saulxures-sur-Moselotte lag volledig in het bos. Smalle weg die begint en eindigt met degelijke wegkwaliteit maar na wat snelheid te winnen in het begin kom je opeens in veel ruigere asfalt terecht terecht, dus oplettendheid geboden.
Good to ride with a racing bike. The road surface is quite OK, despite what was written in a review below. Little traffic. Quirky gradient. Well, I did it once along the other side and wasn't sold then. Now I am, nice climb on the edge of the 'secret Vosges' and the 'high Vosges'.
Goed te berijden met een koersfiets. Het wegdek is best OK, ondanks wat hier onder in een review geschreven is. Weinig verkeer. Grillig verloop. Tja, ik heb hem eens langs de andere kant gedaan en toen was ik niet verkocht. Nu wel, mooie klim op de rand van de 'geheime Vogezen' en de 'hoge Vogezen'.
Nice walk up from Le Thillot..very quiet..good view up to the Auberge de Morbieux..more difficult up to the pass..no special view at the pass..sustained effort for experienced walkers given the profile.
Belle montée pédestre depuis Le Thillot..très calme.. belle vue jusqu'à l'auberge de Morbieux..plus difficile jusqu'au col pas de vue particulière au col..effort soutenu pour marcheur confirmé vu le profil

Heel mooie klim in het begin denk je zit ik hier wel goed op en neer maar zodra je in het bos gedeelte komt weet je dat je goed zit. Even een paar km doorbijten en je bent boven. Onderschat het niet dit is de steile kant van de morbieux. De straatnaam heet trouwens rue de morbieux. Maar wel een klein pareltje!
