    The Col du Louchpach (978 m) is a lesser-known but charming mountain pass in the Vosges, located along the Route des Crêtes. The climb is relatively short but tough, and leads through a quiet, wooded area with little traffic – ideal for cyclists who want to avoid the crowds of the larger cols. The pass forms a beautiful connection between the Meurthe and Weiss valleys and is often part of longer tours towards Lac Blanc or the Col du Calvaire. The ascent via the Rudlin road is particularly atmospheric: narrow, shady and with an authentic mountain feel.
