This is undoubtedly the best way to climb the Grand Ballon. It's the only hors catégorie climb in Alsace, with a 12.8-kilometer (8.0 miles) average gradient of 7.5% and a superb cycle path paved in 2023 between Geishouse and the Haag Pass.

MTB ADVENTURE 🐾 ⛰

A very beautiful but steep climb, which immediately starts firmly in Saint-Amarin. Just before Geishouse you have a moment to catch your breath. Then the climb back starts over a track newly constructed in 2023.

The only Hors Categorie in the Vosges. Inevitably difficult but from Geishouse and up to Haag the roadway has just been redone and has become a cycle path, a marvel.
