Stories, information and comments from Ballon de Servance climbers

Story by Pascal Boone from Steenhuffel, Belgium, submitted on 29/07/2012

Agreeing to what Jacob Verroken says : ''very though climb in the Vosges. Push too hard the first couple of kilometers and you will pay the price on the much steeper second part. Dont expect too much of a view as the climb never leaves the forest. Not even on the summit which was a bit of a disappointment.''

Since the 2012 Tour de France stage you can combine it first with La Planche des Belles filles which starts at the same point.

My personal climb rating:

Very though climb in the Vosges. Push too hard the first couple of kilometers and you will pay the price on the much steeper second part. Dont expect too much of a view as the climb never leaves the forest. Not even on the summit which was a bit of a disappointment. Combine this climb with Ballon dAlsace for a nice 70ish km trip, but beware, I personally thought the Ballon de Servance much harder than its much more illustrious neighbour.
