Good climb, consider it in sections - first up to Röschenz is typically busier with traffic. There is an excellent water fountain there on the left. The second section is quite wide in places and straight sections make it easier for traffic to pass. Remember to go all the way round the top to the bus stop for the full climb. Good fun but can be baking hot in summer in full south facing sun.... read more

Beautiful pass, also very popular with motorbikes in summer. Rather a steep climb with luggage. Roads in good condition.

Schöner Pass, im Sommer auch sehr beliebt bei Motorrädern. Mit Gepäck eher ein steiler Anstieg. Strassen in guter Verfassung.
