To keep the routes both challenging and accessible for everyone, we provide 3 different routes for both Friday and Saturday. Below is a brief description of the longest routes on Friday and Saturday:

On Friday, the programme features a challenging route, with the climb of the Col du Hundsruck as the perfect warm-up. This climb of 6 kilometres and an average gradient of 6.4% offers a very even and gentle start. After this warm-up lap, the climb of the Ballon d’Alsace awaits, a 13-kilometre challenge with an average gradient of 5.2%. The course follows a winding section and passes the picturesque Lac d’Alfeld. On a clear day, breath-taking views of Mont Blanc await at the top.

On Saturday, we start with a gentle run-up through picturesque villages, followed by the ascent of the Col des Chevrères. This climb of 8.4 kilometres and an average gradient of 6.3% starts quietly, but soon culminates in a tough finale. It is a serious test for climbers’ legs, with a number of steep intermediate sections. Next on the programme is the ascent of the Ballon de Servance, a 10-kilometre climb with an average gradient of 6%. The start is punchy, but the climb becomes easier and very enjoyable thanks to the slightly bigger road. The descent that follows is one of the most beautiful in the region, with a quiet road lined by trees and interrupted by only two hairpin turns. Of course, we finish with the ascent of La Planche des Belles Filles, a 6-kilometre challenge with an impressive 8.5% gradient. La Planche is known as the most legendary climb in the region and concludes with a beautiful finish after the small “wall” at 20% at the top. A worthy end to an intense day of stunning climbs.
