Schlucht pass

Apparently the most famous pass in the Vosges. Pleasant climb, but some traffic. You must have "done" it. It's OK, but not a pass pearl.

Tunnel under the rock

Highlight • Other

Shortly before the Col de la Schlucht you cross an impressive rock landscape from Münster. Take a short break is worth it!

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.

Ascent from Soultz to Col du Grand Ballon

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The route from Soultz via the Col Amic to the Grand Ballon is the quietest option and leads pleasantly through shady forest on a small, winding road.

Markstein

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Magnificent viewpoint on the Route des Crêtes, located at the crossroads of the east-west and north-south roads, near the Grand Ballon.

A renowned farm inn is located nearby, ideal for a lunch break between two cycling trips.

Col de Bramont

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At the Col de Bramont, located in the Vosges, you will encounter a mix of challenging climbs and thrilling descents. As you pass through dense forests and meadows, the air is fresh and invigorating, especially when you reach the summit at 956 meters.

Along the lake

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Nice road along the lakes lac de retournemer and lac du longemer. Depending from the direction you come you have a slight way down or up, with nice views in the valley and on the lakes. On lac de longemer you can drive boat, swim oder go stand-up paddeling. The lake is cold, because it is deep and is in the valley. But it is very nice to be there.
