ヴェットルスハイムの峠・トップ8

This short but tough climb (2.4 km at 4.8% average) takes you via quiet asphalt roads through the forest south of Colmar. The summit is at 352 meters altitude and is ideal for those looking for a shady climb with little traffic. The steepest section reaches 9.6%, but the climb is easy for recreational cyclists. Perfect as a connecting link between the wine villages and the Vosges.

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.

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

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.

Pretty stone cross next to the Col du Neuland, which offers access to the Vallée Noble, the Mediterranean meadows of Strangenberg (398 m) or Zinnkoepfle (446 m) and the Hohberg forest massif (555 m).

For those coming from further afield, access possible by car. Parking spaces available. Starting point for "adventures" in several directions.
