Cycling
From Willer-sur-Thur begins one of the most beautiful and varied climbs in the Vosges. The road first climbs through dense forests to the Col Amic (825 m), a quiet pass often considered the gateway to the Grand Ballon. From here, the landscape becomes increasingly impressive, and the road winds its way up along steep slopes and spectacular hairpin bends.

Like the other roads in the Thur Valley that provide access to the Grand Ballon, this climb is one of the toughest in the Vosges Mountains. The climb is 15.8 kilometers long at an average gradient of 6.1%, with a beautiful section through the Col Amic.
