June 27, 2024,Traumtour zum kahlen Wasen (Petit Ballon) 😍

The most beautiful tour today in a long time! High up in the forest on forest roads, lots of flowers and alpine farms at the top, beautiful views with panoramic views and a long flow trail down that was great to ride. Really used the new fully for the first time! All in all, a dream day!

Day 3: Today an easier tour to the petit Ballon with easy climbs and no much pushing. The descent was very flowing, only a few trees lying across the way slowed us down.

April 19, 2022,Radtour Vogesen / Luttenbach-PetitBallon

After three days of carving corners on my blue bike, I switched to the pink bike today. It should be the 1st test in terms of endurance of man and battery. The tour is super varied. Bike and forest paths, technically demanding summit paths through shattered terrain and wonderful downhill single trails.

Despite the rain at night, we were able to take a panoramic tour of the "petit ballon" on the last day, including a stop for refreshments, as is fitting. Great surroundings with lots of options and, with good traffic, only 3 hours away.

We went to the summit of the Petit Ballon, the little brother of the big Grand Ballon. At the top we enjoyed the great view and then tried French cuisine again. With a full stomach we …
