A great training climb for the high mountains. The gradients are very constant and the road is perfectly asphalted, plus the ascent is very long and involves a relatively large number of metres in altitude. Despite this, there is virtually no traffic (which strangely enough changes completely after the village). The views are not the most beautiful, but it is still a good climb.... read more

Ein super Trainingsansteig für das Hochgebirge. Die Prozente sind sehr konstant und die Straße ist perfekt aspahltiert, außerdem ist der Anstieg sehr lang und macht relativ viele Höhenmeter. Trotzdem gibt es so gut wie keinen Verkehr (Was sich nach dem Dorf komischerweise komplett ändert). Die Aussichten sind zwar nicht die schönsten, dennoch ein guter Ansteig.
