    Tips

    Road cycling

    Something like this probably only exists in France. A perfectly paved bike path to the top of a mountain pass. The climb here is closed to motorized traffic, but it's quite challenging. For long stretches, the gradients are between 13 and 15%. In places, even up to 17 and 18%. The upper part of the route is entirely through forest, so there are no views. But that doesn't matter; you're busy with yourself anyway.

    Great Climb with new tarmac. Although steep and not easy it's still very enjoyable.

    And on July 18, 2026, the Tour de France came up here. The finish was then in Le Markstein. The stage was won by Tadej Pogacar. He had attacked on this climb in the last two kilometers and no one could follow him.
