Nice climb. You can even do it on the big plateau, at least if you do not climb further to the Ballon de Servance. Also to descend it is very nice. Look around, because the view is not to be despised.... read more

Route with only interest to reach the Col des Croix to then climb to the Ballon de Servance or onto the Route des Forts (Col du Mont de Fourche) or back down to Le Thillot.
Steady gradient of around 5% on excellent tarmac but with a fair amount of road traffic.

Route avec seul intérêt de rejoindre le col des Croix pour ensuite monter au Ballon de Servance ou sur la route des Forts (col du Mont de Fourche) ou redescendre vers le Thillot.
Pente constante autour de 5% sur un excellent bitume mais avec pas mal de trafic routier

It's long and not very steep, so it's not much of a climb in that sense.
And there are a lot of cars

C'est long et peu pentu, montée qui n'a pas trop d'intérêt dans ce sens la
Et il y a bcq de voitures

Good tarmac, nowhere too steep, nice climb to pedal briskly on. Nice detail, note the 2 signs with the altitude 🤔🤔.

Goed asfalt, nergens te steil, mooie klim om stevig op door te trappen. Leuk detail, let op de 2 bordjes met de hoogte 🤔🤔

On either side, the Col des Croix is not very interesting. The road is clean but there is very little to see along the way. This path leads to the ascent to the Ballon de Servance, and that's about it.

D’un côté comme de l’autre, ce col des Croix n’est pas très intéressant. La route est propre mais il y a bien peu à voir en chemin. Ce chemin conduit à l’ascension pour le Ballon de Servance, c’est à peu près tout.

Leuke klim. Je kan hem zelfs op de grote plateau doen, tenminste als je niet verder klimt tot aan de Ballon de Servance. Ook om af te dalen is deze heel mooi. Kijk ook eens rond, want het uitzicht is niet te versmaden.
