Firstplan Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The Col du Firstplan is currently closed until mid-December 2023 due to a slipped road. And in contrast to other "barricades", which you can easily pass with a racing bike, here the entire road has actually slipped away and there is a hole several meters deep.

Climbing the Col du Petit Ballon from Whir-au-Val

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The ascent of the Col du Petit Ballon from Whir-au-Val starts in the Munster Valley, just like the climb from Luttenbach-près-Munster, but the route is extended to make the slope less steep. After an initial section in the forest, the arrival at the summit is superb, accompanied by several farm inns for resupply. In total, there are fourteen kilometers at a 6% gradient to climb.

A little west of Haut-Kœnigsbourg, the pass connects the Alsatian vineyards towards the Rhine with the valley of the Lièpvrette (Liver Valley) aka Val d'Argent.

A fantastic old castle with a beautiful long climb at 6%. The walk is very interesting, with fantastic views over the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine Valley to the Black Forest.
