A demanding climb, which you won't regret once you've reached the summit. Just under 10km is a short distance, but the irregular gradients, often in excess of 10%, can make the climb long. The climb is fairly shady, apart from a few sections at the top, where the wind can blow. The road is very narrow, I passed 3 cyclists on the way up and passed 3 others coming down. I passed one car on the way up and none on the way down, but I was careful all the same. In fine weather, the view from the top is fantastic, and well worth all the effort. As for the high-altitude restaurant, from what I saw of it, it's the price of living in Switzerland, so I advise you to take your snacks with you. Happy climbing :)
Une montée exigeante, que l'on ne regrette pas une fois le sommet atteint. Un peu moins de 10 km, c'est court, mais les pentes irrégulières et souvent au delà de 10% peuvent rendre le temps long. La montée est plutôt ombragée, hormis quelques portions sur le haut où le vent peut souffler. La route est très étroite, j'ai dépassé 3 cyclistes dans la montée et croisé 3 autres qui descendaient. J'ai croisé une voiture en montant, aucune en descendant, mais attention quand même. Par beau temps, la vue au sommet est fantastique, et mérite bien tous ces efforts. Pour le restaurant d'altitude, de ce que j'en ai vu, c'est au prix de la vie en Suisse, donc je vous conseille d'avoir votre collation avec vous. Bonne ascension :)
