Col Amic

The Col Amic culminates at an altitude of 828 meters, below the Grand Balon.

This pass has an average gradient of 4.8% over 9.6 kilometers. The slope is therefore rather gentle, but the climb is long. Ideal for climbing at your own pace, gently!

Nice alternative to the ascent via the Routes des Crêtes to the Grand Ballon.

Surface quality very good, therefore also suitable for the downhill.

Nice alternative to the Routes des Crêtes climb to the Grand Ballon.

Good road quality, thus good for the descending as well.

Partly steep, but very quiet ascent!

Nice little pass and rest area on the ascent to the Grand Ballon or past it

The south ascent to Col Amic cannot compete with the north ascent of Soultz in terms of the beauty of the route, but it is still highly recommended. The route is quite spacious, the incline is rather moderate, but it is a bit unrhythmic to drive. Forest passages alternate with more promising meadow slopes.
