The scenery with views of the snow-capped peaks is stunning. The climb is actually quite doable, only the last one and a half kilometres are sometimes a bit of a strain, especially if you already have the Col du Sanetsch in your legs. In terms of traffic, it is fairly busy, but there is also plenty of space and good road surface, so it doesn't bother you very much. The pass itself is not necessarily beautiful, so just enjoy the view along the way ;)

De omgeving met zicht op de besneeuwde toppen is schitterend. De klim is eigenlijk heel goed te doen, alleen de laatste anderhalve kilometer is het soms stoempen, zeker als je al de Col du Sanetsch in de benen hebt. Qua verkeer is het redelijk druk, maar er is ook veel ruimte en goed wegdek, dus erg veel last heb je er niet van. De pas zelf is niet per se mooi, dus vooral onderweg van het uitzicht genieten ;)

Done in July 2019 as part of the loop Sanetsch/Cableway/Pillon/Croix.
The least climb of these, but the scenery is stunning.

In juli 2019 gedaan als deel van de lus Sanetsch/kabelbaan/Pillon/Croix.

Beautiful but not really difficult. I suppose the view is great if one takes the cable car. I didn't in any case. Lots of tourists.

Mooi maar niet echt moeilijk. Ik veronderstel dat het uitzicht geweldig is als men de kabelbaan neemt. Ik deed het in ieder geval niet. Veel toeristen.
