ゼルの峠・トップ20

The ascent of the Col du Petit Ballon from Whir-au-Val starts in the Munster Valley, just like the climb from Luttenbach-près-Munster, but the route is extended to make the slope less steep. After an initial section in the forest, the arrival at the summit is superb, accompanied by several farm inns for resupply. In total, there are fourteen kilometers at a 6% gradient to climb.

the descent on the silver valley is magical to do at full speed, good tour

Low-traffic road through the forest, pleasant even in hot weather

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

descent of the small balloon quality bitumen, perfect for going fast recommended for the descent

From Wihr au Val: A fun and tasty climb that actually only starts after 2 kilometers. From there quite stable at a nice percentage through a wooded area. The road surface is fine, there is little traffic and the climb is fun. In my opinion it is the most beautiful way to climb the Firstplan. Although the last kilometers on the other side are also beautiful

Hole has been repaired, the col is open to traffic again.

Currently closed until mid-December 2023 because the entire road above Wasserbourg has slipped.
