Great road through a beautiful landscape with views of a glacier and the Bernina Express. You can only in the beginning to a bike path so you will have to live with the fast cars. Good road surface though and a beautiful scenery.
Recommended to take the Forcola di Livigno at the top, where the road becomes quiet and the landscape even more beautiful!
Grote weg door een prachtig landschap met uitzicht op een gletsjer en de Bernina Express. Je kunt alleen in het begin even uitwijken naar een fietspad dus je zult moeten leven met de snelle auto's. Wel goed wegdek en een mooi decor.
Aanrader om op de top ook de Forcola di Livigno mee te pakken, waar de weg rustig wordt en het landschap nog mooier!
The route along the easy side of the Swiss Bernina pass is mainly along wide straight roads with few curves in a wide open valley (wind!) with on both sides an impressive high mountain scenery with snowy peaks and glaciers (a.o. the well known Morteratch glacier).
You cycle along the cable lift stations of Diavolezza and Lagalb and the red Bernina express mountain train (Chur-Tirano) follows the same route and regularly rides along the road and crosses the route several times. There are no high gradients, only in the middle and the last kilometers there are some steeper sections with some hairpin bends, but there is unpleasantly fast and heavy traffic!
Wide busy road with high mountains in the background.
De route langs de gemakkelijke zijde van de Zwitserse Berninapas verloopt de hele beklimming langs voornamelijk brede rechte stukken weg met weinig bochten in een breed open dal (wind!) met langs beide zijden een indrukwekkend hooggebergte decor met besneeuwde toppen en gletsjers (oa.gekende Morteratchgletsjer).
Je fietst langs de kabelliftstations van Diavolezza en Lagalb en de rode Bernina express bergtrein (Chur-Tirano) volgt hetzelfde traject en tuft regelmatig vlak langs de rijweg en kruist ook enkele keren de route. Er zijn geen hoge stijgingspercentages, enkel in het middendeel en de slotkilometers zijn er enkele steilere stroken met enkele haarspeldbochten.Er is wel onaangenaam snel en druk verkeer!
Brede drukke weg met hooggebergte omkadering.
