A long and fearsome climb: the difference with the other variant is that on leaving Lipburg, a very steep section immediately puts the legs to the test, with high percentages. The gradient remains steady throughout, on a road in poor condition in the shade of trees, but with almost no traffic. The effort is amply rewarded at the summit, with a superb view of the Vosges and Switzerland. A demanding climb that you should try at least once!... read more

A demanding climb that you should try at least once!

Une montée longue et redoutable : la différence avec son autre variante c'est qu'à la sortie de Lipburg, un passage très raide met tout de suite les jambes à l’épreuve avec de fort pourcentage. La pente reste soutenue tout du long, sur une route en mauvais état à l'ombre des arbres, mais presque sans circulation. L’effort est largement récompensé au sommet, avec une vue superbe sur les Vosges et la Suisse.
Une ascension exigeante qu'il faut essayer au moins une fois !
