ウルバッハベイカイゼルスベルクの峠・トップ19

The Col du Calvaire (1144 m) is a mountain pass in the Vosges that connects Le Valtin to Orbey in Alsace. Situated on the Route des Crêtes, between the Col du Bonhomme and the Col de la Schlucht, this pass offers magnificent views of Lac Blanc and the surrounding peaks. The name refers to an old Calvary that once stood above the lake. During the First World War, the German front line ran along this pass, which also gives the place a historical charge. In winter, the pass is part of the Lac Blanc ski area and is partly closed to traffic.

Taking your bike on the cable car

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

There are no cars here early in the morning. Perfect peace and quiet and a long but moderate climb in both directions with a correspondingly fun descent

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

3rd category pass from Sainte Marie aux Mines: 7.3 km at 5.4% average.

Pass without much charm, with overhanging high voltage lines.

Nice pass with several possibilities to continue towards Sainte-Marie aux Mines, Aubure, Ribeauvillé.
