The Col du Wettstein (880 m) is a historic mountain pass in the Vosges Mountains, located between Orbey and Soultzeren, and is a gateway to some of the most beautiful hiking and cycling routes in the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park. The climb from Soultzeren is 6.8 km long with an average gradient of 5.5%, and offers a peaceful, green setting with beautiful views over the valley. At the summit you will find the Wettstein French Military Cemetery, an impressive memorial to those who fell in the First World War.

There is a soldiers' cemetery or memorial directly at the Col du Wettstein.

Nice pass height to drive. The area is pleasantly quiet - the view leaves a lot to be desired, but you had that on the way up from Munster.
