About Le Markstein
Le Markstein lies on the Route des Crêtes in the Vosges and has been on the Tour de France route several times. From Linthal the road climbs past the Lac de la Lauch through the forest.
In rampida you ride the route exactly as it lies on the road: the gradient reaches your trainer metre by metre, the scenery is built from real elevation data and OpenStreetMap. A pacer group can pull you along, and next time you race your own ghost.
