The Granfondo Vosges, a newcomer to the Grand Trophée circuit, is no exception to the rule, offering you a
complete and demanding cyclosportive course. Will you be up to this new challenge?
Starting from the resort of La Bresse Hohneck, you reach the Col des Feignes for a warm-up around the
Nordic area of Lispach and its sumptuous lake. After a brief passage through La Bresse, you follow several
short but intense climbs, with some very high percentages.
In order, the Croix des Moinats (891m), the Hayes(875m) and Morbieux(791m)passes and finally the Mont de Fourche (620m) via the hill road. After all this effort, you'll reach Plombières-les-Bains.
This is followed by a more rolling 50-kilometer section, with the Col de la Demoiselle and the Pas de l'Âne to contend with. The respite is short-lived and the final stretch promises to be tough. You tackle the Haut du Tôt nestling at 863m (several passages at over 10%).
Then follows a rapid descent to Rochesson and already the Col de la Grosse Pierre (954m) looms ahead.
Returning to La Bresse, you tackle the final difficulty of the day:the 9km false flat climb to the Bresse Hohneck station (898m).
