Sehr schöner entspannter Anstieg. Nicht zu schwer und gut im Rythmus fahrbar.

Fantastic climb with incredible views. Route from the cable car is a bit difficult to find for a while as you have to klunge'via an unpaved pan' but then you are presented with a beautiful climb through the forest, after which on a good day you are treated to views up to the Vosges. Unforgettable!

Mooie klim vanuit Kandern. De percentages zijn niet echt pittig en je hebt veel beschutting door de bomen langs de weg, met af en toe mooie vergezichten. Vanaf de top kun je tot in Frankrijk kijken, Helaas was het restaurant bovenop de top in 2020 gesloten, waardoor ik later tijdens de rit nog op een hongerklop werden getrakteerd.... Vooral ook vanwege het uitzicht op de top het maximum van 5 sterren.
