Day 3 Gerardmer (F) - Kaysersberg (F)
Today’s stage is a pure driver’s delight. Leaving Les Bas Rupts in the early morning, the route climbs immediately into the heart of the Vosges Mountains. Engines echo through the forest as you attack the sweeping ascent of the Col de la Schlucht, a legendary climb offering wide, fast corners and flawless tarmac — the perfect warm-up for what’s ahead.
At the summit, the scenery opens onto the iconic Route des Crêtes, one of France’s most spectacular mountain roads. High-altitude curves, long horizons, and flowing rhythm make this stretch a highlight for any GT or supercar. The drive continues toward the Hohneck, where the panorama is simply breathtaking.
The pace then shifts to something sharper: a technical descent toward the Col du Wettstein and the Col du Calvaire, where tighter switchbacks and short straights test precision, balance, and perfect driving lines. It’s a stage that blends speed with finesse — a true rally-style sequence.
As the mountains give way to vineyards, the road drops into the postcard-perfect landscapes of Alsace. Golden slopes, medieval villages, and the silhouette of Kaysersberg’s castle announce your arrival in one of France’s most beautiful wine regions.
Your stage concludes in style at the 5* Relais & Châteaux Le Chambard, a refined hideaway in the heart of Kaysersberg. The day ends with an exceptional dinner at its two-Michelin-star restaurant, where Olivier Nasti’s cuisine transforms local ingredients into a world-class gastronomic experience.
A thrilling mountain stage, iconic passes, and a Michelin-starred finale — the perfect combination of driving passion and French art de vivre.
