The riders get closer to the Vosges mountains, but the real uphill hardship is saved for later days. The hardest part of the 5th stage is the sheer distance.
The climbs along the way are short and not very steep. The Côte de Pagry-la-Blanche-Côte, Côte de Gripport and Côte du Haut du Bois do not exceed 1.5 kilometres in length, while the average gradients are, respectively, 5.5%, 5.3% and 4.9%.
The Côte du Haut du Bois is crested with 20 kilometres remaining before the rest of the route is virtually flat.
