Friendly, running climb on Swiss perfect asphalt. I rode it in 98 with little traffic and unfortunately cloudy conditions.
Vriendelijke, lopende klim op Zwitsers perfect asfalt. Ik reed hem in 98 met weinig verkeer en helaas bewolking.
I tackled the climb on a sunny Saturday in early September, the traffic is quite heavy even in the early morning: the stretches with alternating traffic lights do not help because they compact the cars which then overtake you in fleets at a regular pace. The first half of the route is easily pedalled, the gradient low and regular; from an altitude of 2000 metres, however, there is a strong headwind that makes pedalling harder than it is (it felt like being around 10％).
Ho affrontato la salita un sabato di sole di inizio settembre, il traffico è abbastanza sostenuto già nel primo mattino: i tratti con semaforo a traffico alternato non aiutano perché compattano le auto che poi ti sorpassano in flotte con cadenza regolare. La prima metà del percorso è facilmente pedalabile, la pendenza bassa e regolare; da quota 2000 invece tira un forte vento contrario che rende la pedalata più dura di quello che è (sembrava di essere attorno al 10％).
The climb is not excessively steep, although it increases with altitude, making it more difficult to climb at the end than at the beginning.
At the top it is quite nice, although the other side is even nicer.
The asphalt is very good and the traffic is heavier than I expected.
Subida por una pendiente no excesivamente complicada, aunque va aumentando con la altitud, por lo que al final cuesta más subir que al principio.
Arriba del todo es bastante bonito aunque el otro lado lo es incluso más.
El asfalto es muy bueno y el tráfico mayor de lo que me esperaba.
It's a beautiful pass, and for me it's a bit heavier than I expected based on the profile (could also be because we did the Wolfgangpass immediately before that, of course. Windy though, and quite a few cars. Asphalt is fine, except for the stretches where you just cycle offroad between the stones. Descent to the other side is very nice!
Het is een mooie pas, en wat mij betreft iets zwaarder dan gedacht op basis van het profiel (kan ook komen omdat we direct daarvoor de wolfgangpas deden natuurlijk. Winderig dat wel, en toch wel flink wat autos. Asfalt is prima, behalve de stukken wegwerkzaamheden waar je gewoon offroad tussen de stenen fietst. Afdaling naar de andere kant is erg mooi!
4 sterren is wat positief trouwens, maar ja, kan geen halve sterren uitdelen.
Nice climb from Davos. This way felt like the easy side, yet from Susch there were a lot spicier sections in between. From Davos you swing up on perfect road sections between the trees. From Damiano's Gasthuis (a nice hairpin turn past a little church) it gets a bit steeper but nowhere does it get really difficult. At weekends in June, it is incredibly busy with cars's, motorbikes and other cyclists. So if possible, go during the week.
Mooie klim vanuit Davos. Deze kant op voelde als de makkelijke kant, vanuit Susch zaten er toch een stuk pittigere stukken tussen. Vanaf Davos slinger je op perfect wegdel tussen de bomen omhoog. Vanaf Damiano's Gasthuis (een mooie haarspeldbocht langs een kerkje) wordt het wat stijler maar nergens wordt het echt moeilijk. In juni is het in het weekend ontzettend druk met auto's, motoren en andere fietsers. Dus ga als het even kan doordeweeks.
The Swiss mondaine Davos, known for the yearly "World Economic Forum" with all the world leaders, but also starting point of the beautiful climb over the Flüela Pass. Past the Davoser See and just before entering Davos, you turn left across the railway and the climb starts slowly. Afterwards it turns into a long continuous ascent without extremes where you cycle between the woods and the river on the right.
In Dörfli (1800m) you pass the Pischa ski lift and after cycling out of Tschuggen (tree line 2000m) there are a few hairpin bends which, together with the mountain stream, bring you to the mountain lake and hotel on the pass height. Beautiful view to the right on the Fluëla Schwarzhorn (3146m) a challenge for a bike-free day!
There was quite some wind between the 2 ridges and there was heavy traffic (also buses and trucks) on the way to Susch/Zernec and St Moritz.
Het Zwitserse mondaine Davos, gekend van het jaarlijks "World Economic Forum" met alle wereldleiders, maar ook startplaats van de mooie klim over de Flüelapas. Voorbij de Davoser See en vlak voor het binnenfietsen van Davos draait men links de spoorweg over en begint de klim eerst gezapig. Nadien overgaande in een lange continue stijging zonder extremen waarbij je fietst tussen de bossen en de rivier rechts even dieper wegzinkt.
In Dörfli (1800m) passeer je de Pischa skilift en na het buitenfietsen van Tschuggen (boomgrens 2000m) volgen enkele haarspeldbochten die je tussen de rotsen samen met de bergbeek uiteindelijk tot het bergmeertje en hotelletje op de pashoogte brengen. Prachtig uitzicht rechts op de Fluëla Schwarzhorn (3146m) een uitdaging voor een fietsvrije dag!
Er stond toen behoorlijk wat wind tussen de 2 bergkammen en er was druk verkeer(ook bussen en vrachtvervoer) op doorreis naar Susch/Zernec en St Moritz.
