4 Vosges passes for summit challenges!

The Col du Calvaire is a legendary pass, featured multiple times in the Tour Alsace and the Tour de France. It offers a climb from the village of Orbey with rhythm changes and steep sections, making it perfect for cyclists seeking a challenging ascent, enhanced by beautiful views of the valley.

Just a few pedal strokes from the Col du Calvaire, sport climbing enthusiasts will enjoy the Col des Bagenelles, starting from the Saint-Marie-aux-Mines Valley. This demanding yet steady circuit will test your endurance, rewarding you with a panoramic view at the summit.

For those looking for a more relaxed ride, the Route des Crêtes connects the Col du Calvaire to the Col des Bagenelles. This route traverses dense forests, followed by typical Vosges mountain landscapes, providing a less technical itinerary that passes through the Col du Bonhomme and Col du Louschbach. With shorter climbs and less significant elevation changes, it’s the ideal route to appreciate the surrounding panorama.

All these passes offer a unique experience for cyclists, blending sport and contemplation in a preserved natural setting.
