The climb is almost identical to the one starting from Wisches. It’s steep right from the start, so you need to find your rhythm quickly without pushing yourself too hard.The climb eases off afterward but remains consistently challenging, especially since the road surface is in poorer condition on the second half of the ascent. From the summit, you can continue on to the Col des Deux Donons, then the Col du Donon, or the Cote de l’Engin if you’re riding a gravel bike.... read more

Montée quasi identique à celle qui monte depuis wisches. Ça grimpé fort dès le debut il faut vite trouver son rythme sans se mettre dans le rouge.La montée est moins raide ensuite mais reste régulière dans la difficulté surtout que le revêtement est moins bon sur la deuxième partie de l ascension.Possibilte de pousser depuis le sommet sur le col des deux donons puis celui du Donon ou de la cote de l engin si vous etes en gravel.

As with the east side (from Wisches), the climb is steep (10％) but without the 13％ passages.
The ascent takes place mainly in forest. The surface of this small forest road is good in the first km, but degraded in the second. Take care on the descent.
No particular view at the summit, apart from the military cemetery.

Comme pour le côté est (depuis Wisches), la montée raide (10％) mais sans les passages à 13％.
L'ascension se déroule essentiellement en forêt. Le revêtement de cette petite route forestière est bon dans le premier km, mais dégradé dans le second. Prudence donc à la descente.
Pas de vue particulière au sommet, hormis le cimetière militaire.
