A climb from Sapois is recommended if you are in the area. The tarmac is fine and there is virtually no traffic. The climb is boring because it is too straight. From Gérardmer, a fairly short climb with 2 steep sections. I prefer this side. ... read more

From Gérardmer, a fairly short climb with 2 steep sections.
I prefer this side.

Montée au départ de Sapois à faire si vous êtes dans le coin.
Le macadam est correct, il n'y a pratiquement pas de circulation. Montée ennuyeuse car trop rectiligne.
Au départ de Gérardmer, montée assez courte avec 2 passages à forts pourcentages.
Je préfère ce côté.

Just about 3*. Rode it during the fondo in May 2024. It is not particularly steep and fairly even. The tarmac is good. Biggest drawback is that it's just a long straight uphill, which feels boring.

Net aan 3*. Tijdens de fondo van mei 2024 opgereden. Hij is niet bijzonder steil en vrij gelijkmatig. Het asfalt is goed. Grootste nadeel is dat het gewoon een lange rechte weg omhoog is, en dat voelt saai.

Clear climb. Ideal warm-up. Not the prettiest in the area but while you're there take it😉

Overzichtelijke beklimming. Ideale opwarmer. Niet de mooiste in de buurt maar als je er dan toch bent neem maar mee😉

Kind of long, not very pretty. Straightforward...
Along the Gérardmer-side it's steeper and more challenging, short & spicy.

Nogal lang, niet echt mooi. Rechttoe rechtaan...
Langs de Gérardmer-kant is hij steiler en uitdagender, kort & pittig.
