Monumental, what a climb

Good, affordable accommodation. Right in the heart of the Cols.

Nice climb, very good asphalt. Little traffic (during the week in early June).

A beautiful, not too challenging climb on a wide, well-paved road. More views from the south than from the north.

Be sure to stop by the Maison Ferber bakery. Delicious jams from a small copper kettle, true fruit bombs, superb pastries, and delicious daily specials (except for house sale).

Nice car-free ride to the col. Shortly after, the route goes in waves to the col Ribeauville. This is where the actual descent begins. Let it run
