The slope cannot be missed and is visible from afar from all directions with the distinctive antennae on top. Both from a sporting and aesthetic point of view it is a magnificent slope. In terms of percentages and length it certainly belongs to the more difficult climbs in the region and the views and hairpins make the climb complete. Disadvantage is that it is a known tourist destination, so there is a lot of traffic going up. Be sure to ride up to the antennas at the top for the full height me... read more

2nd time cycling up, I still knew exactly what to expect. Usually that means nice spicy calf biter!

2de maal dat ik naar boven fietste, ik wist nog exact wat er me te wachten stond. Meestal wil dat zeggen mooie pittige kuitenbijter!

Nice track, after the hairpin you think you've had it all but the part after that is still a bit of a struggle.

Leuke baan, na de haarspeldbocht denk je alles gehad te hebben maar het stuk erna is nog even doorbijten.

A beginner cyclotourist who loves hills but is afraid of descents, I recommend this climb, which is impressive (what a slope!) but manageable if you don't force yourself: wind, wind, wind. I really want to do it again, and to discover other passes, of the same type but longer. In May, I'll try the Ballon d'Alsace via Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle (9 km around 7％ average).

Cyclotouriste débutant, amateur de côtes mais peureux dans les descentes, je recommande cette montée, impressionnante (quelle pente!) mais gérable si on ne force pas : mouliner, mouliner, mouliner. Très envie de recommencer, et de découvrir d’autres cols, du même acabit mais plus longs. En mai, je tenterai le Ballon d’Alsace par Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle (9 km autour de 7％ de moyenne).

The slope cannot be missed and is visible from afar from all directions with the distinctive antennae on top. Both from a sporting and aesthetic point of view it is a magnificent slope. In terms of percentages and length it certainly belongs to the more difficult climbs in the region and the views and hairpins make the climb complete. Disadvantage is that it is a known tourist destination, so there is a lot of traffic going up. Be sure to ride up to the antennas at the top for the full height meters and the view of the surroundings.

Even without a bike, the slope is worth a visit, because from the parking lot at the top you can descend (walking) to the famous chalk cliffs of the Cap Blanc Nez.

De helling valt niet te missen en is al van ver zichtbaar uit alle richtingen met de kenmerkende antennes op de top. Zowel in sportief opzicht als esthetisch is het een prachtige helling. Que percentages en lengte hoort het zeker bij de lastigere klimmen in de regio en de uitzichten en haarspeld maken het klimfestijn compleet. Nadeel is dat het een gekende toeristische bestemming is, waardoor er ook veel verkeer omhoog gaat. Rijd zeker door tot de antennes op de top voor de volle hoogtemeters en het uitzicht over de omgeving.

Ook zonder fiets is de helling overigens een bezoek zeker waard, omdat er vanaf de parkeerplaats op de top afgedaald kan worden (wandelend) naar de gekende krijtrotsen van de Cap Blanc Nez.
