Vosges Epic Climbing & Descending

The route starts out easy, rolling gently toward Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle. That’s where the climb to the Ballon d’Alsace kicks off. The descent is beautiful, so keep an eye out for traffic on the way down. At the bottom, you’ll find yourself right at the base of the Col du Hundsruck.

Another stunning descent drops you into the valley before you head up the Grand Ballon via Geishouse. Make sure you’ve saved something in the legs. It's nearly 940 meters of climbing to the top.

From the summit, you’ve got a long, flowing smooth past Le Markstein and all the way down to Lac de Kruth. The final challenge is the Col de Bramont, then it’s a smooth ride down into La Bresse to finish the day.
