Here René Pottier conquered the first pass of the Tour de France on July 11, 1905. The Ballon d'Alsace then remained unrivaled for five years - until the much harder passes in the Pyrenees were discovered.

At 1,247 meters, the pass is by no means the highest in the Vosges and today no one would include it on the list of important passes - but there is still a certain magic about it.

Doller Trail — From Masevaux to Sewen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This cycle path follows the Voie Verte of the Doller valley and follows the route of an old railway line. Over 2 kilometers, the route is interrupted and you have to take cycle lanes along the D466 road.

The slope is constant and quite low, at around 1%.
