Little busy road, very good quality surface (September 2023), magnificent landscape leaving the forest. A very good warm-up for the summit of the Grand Ballon 7 km further.

On the route of Col Amic, above the Ferme Auberge Kohlschlag, there is a cozy wooden bench that invites you to take a break. From here, you have a view of the Ferme Auberge Kohlschlag and the mountain Le Sudelkopf. The bench was made as a project by students from the Enstib Épinal wood trade school.

A bit hidden, but in my opinion the best descent from the balloon. Little traffic, good surface - you can let it roll.

Col Amic Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The climb of the Col Amic from Soultz-Haut-Rhin is a beautiful and accessible climb in the Vosges, ideal for cyclists who love regularity and nature. The climb is 12.1 km long, bridges 559 meters of altitude and has an average gradient of 4.6%. The route winds through a quiet, wooded area and offers beautiful views of the Alsatian plain along the way. The summit is at 829 meters and forms a junction towards the Grand Ballon or the Hartmannswillerkopf massif. Thanks to its even profile, this climb is suitable for both recreational cyclists and athletic climbers.

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Perhaps the most beautiful way to tackle the Grand Ballon - the small road climbs with very even and moderate 5% of Soultz to the pass and winds in many curves through mostly dense forest, which offers especially in summer welcome shade. Only shortly before the pass you come to a larger pasture and the view goes far beyond the Rhine Valley to the Black Forest. Once at the top you have the choice either to continue to the Grand Ballon (there is an information sign on the track every kilometer, how far it is to the summit), or to turn off towards Thann or Hartmannswillerkopf.
If you want to leave the track, increased caution in the lower area, here is the road in wet sometimes very slippery. The surface is otherwise good on the whole track (08/2019).
