The hardest climb I've ever done in the Vosges. Between the 15% walls in Saint Amarin, the seemingly endless climb to Geishouse or the last wall after the totem pole. If you're looking for pain do it. Perhaps the view of the grand ballon will cheer you up.... read more

Very, very hard, the hardest in the region. A word of advice: don't plan the climb at the end of the route, otherwise it will seem interminable :-) From Geishouse onwards, there's a small road closed to cars, with an impeccable surface, but you won't come across many people other than those as crazy as you are.

Très très dur, ce qu'il y a de + dur dans la région. Petit conseil, ne prévoyez pas la montée en fin de parcours sinon cela vous semblera interminable :-) A partir de Geishouse, petite route interdite aux voitures, revêtement impeccable mais vous ne croiserez pas grand monde hormis des gens aussi fous que vous

Montée la plus dure que j'ai pu faire dans les Vosges. Entre les murs de 15% dans Saint Amarin, la montée vers Geishouse qui semble interminable ou le dernier mur après le totem. Si vous cherchez de la douleur faites la. La vue sur le grand ballon pourra peut être vous remonter le moral.

Very steep climb. The start, in Saint-Amarin, is a wall to begin the climb. The gradients then remain high until you reach Geishouse. There is then a short descent and a climb to the Col du Haag. The route is magnificent, with beautiful scenery and the Grand Ballon appearing through the trees from time to time. Watch out for chamois, which you may come across on this little-travelled route. The last ramp before the pass is very tough, especially at the start where you go from a rolling 4% section to a tight 12% bend very quickly. It's a magnificent shady climb with very little traffic.

Montée très raide. Le début, dans Saint-Amarin, est un mur pour commencer l'ascension. Ensuite les pourcentages restent élevés jusqu'à Geishouse. Par la suite, on trouve une petite descente et la montée jusqu'au col du Haag. La route est magnifique avec de beaux paysages et le Grand Ballon qui apparaît à travers les arbres de temps à autres. Attention aux chamois que l'on peut croiser sur cette route peu fréquentée. La dernière rampe avant le col est très dure surtout avec son début où l'on passe d'une partie roulante de 4% à un virage serré de 12% très rapidement. C'est une magnifique ascension ombragée avec très peu de circulation.
