Tips from the Community
The center of Le Thillot lies in the valley of the Moselle and forms a small but lively village heart. On the Place du 8 Mai stands the 19th-century Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, surrounded by bakeries, cafés, and local shops. It is a compact, well-organized center with a mix of Vosges architecture, daily amenities, and a quiet village atmosphere. The bakery facade caught my attention.

The former train station of Le Thillot (la gare du Thillot) is a historic monument that played a central role in the region's transformation. Opened in 1879 on the railway line between Épinal and Bussang, the SNCF definitively closed the station in 1989. The building has been completely renovated and now houses the Maison des Hautes‑Mynes, the visitor center for the historic copper mines. The former railway bed has been transformed into the Voie Verte des Hautes‑Vosges, a car-free cycle path connecting Remiremont with Bussang. Directly next to the station also starts the Voie du Tacot, an educational route along the old narrow-gauge railway line.

De Col des Croix is a 679-meter-high mountain pass in the French Vogezen massif, located on the border of the Vosges and Haute-Saône departments. The pass forms an accessible connecting road (the D486) between the northern Le Thillot and the southern Servance. At the top, you will find the well-known Le Chalet Snack du Col des Croix, and the road splits towards the D16 (Route des Forts), the route that continues to the higher Ballon de Servance.

This 5.9-kilometer climb from the village of Plancher-les-Mines in Haute-Saône is one of the most difficult in the Vosges. Indeed, cyclists who want to try it will need to be at least somewhat trained. With a gradient of 24% towards the end of the route, it's better to be well-attached. The gradient never seems to ease, with its hairpin bends and, upon reaching the resort, the last 2 kilometers rise like a wall. However, you'll be able to say that you've done it, so come and try the climb of La Planche too!
