Col du Mont de Fourche, Mountain pass in Vosges, France

Col du Mont de Fourche is a mountain pass in the Vosges at roughly 620 meters elevation, accessible via several routes from Faucogney, Rupt-sur-Moselle, and Saulx. The climb spans nearly 4 kilometers with gradients varying between 5 and 9 percent, with the final kilometer being the steepest section.

The pass entered cycling history on 7 July 2012, when the Tour de France crossed it for the first time on stage 7, rated third category, with Denmark's Chris Anker Sørensen first at the summit. In 2024 it featured on stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes, also third category, where Belgium's Justine Ghekiere led over the top.

The col is a junction of the RD 35 from Rupt-sur-Moselle and the RD 6 towards Corravillers, where they meet the Route des Forts, a ridge road between the Girmont-Val-d'Ajol and the Ballon de Servance. The GR 7 long-distance path from the Ballon d'Alsace to Andorra also crosses here. The blue sign on its post gives the name and "altitude 620 m".

Visitors should plan different amounts of time depending on which route they choose, as multiple ascent options vary in difficulty. The pass is walkable year-round, but conditions change with the seasons, particularly during winter snowfall.

The Route des Forts, a ridge road linking Girmont-Val-d'Ajol to Ballon de Servance, crosses the pass itself. The Vosges-side climb via the D35 covers 3.8 km with 16 bends, including 2 hairpins and one right-angle turn; the Haute-Saône side via the D6 runs 3.4 km with 16 bends, 6 of them hairpins.
