Altitude edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The altitude of the col differs in various sources as either 1,171 m (3,842 ft) or 1,178 m (3,865 ft). Climb by Bike has the summit at 1,178 m on the climbs from Sewen and Malvaux, but 1,171 m on the climb from Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle. The sign on the approach to the summit from Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle (see photo here) says 1,171 m. The Michelin map gives the altitude as 1,178 m. as do both the memoire-du-cyclisme and ledicodutour websites. Les Woodland (as cited in the article) also gives 1,178m. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:08, 26 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

The French Wikipedia article now gives an altitude of 1,173 m (3,848 ft), with the edit summary of 26 July 2012 referenced to IGN. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 09:06, 27 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
