Ballon de Servance
The Ballon de Servance is often paired with the Super Planche des Belles Filles. It begins gently until the first hairpins, then settles into a steady 6–8% with the steepest ramps hitting 11.5%. The tarmac is in decent shape, and the forest cover gives plenty of shade, though you won’t get many views along the way. On the descent toward Thillot, watch out, as the road can get quite bumpy.
