Heb deze prachtige klim vorige week gereden in onze koninginnenrit.
Eerst de Grimselpass naar boven, afdalen en dan gelijk de Furka op, vervolgens weer naar beneden en de achterkant van de Grimsel naar boven.
En dan terug naar verblijfplaats Brienz!
Goed voor 3000 hoogtemeters.
Was echt prachtig rondje.

In Augustus 2019 de eerste klim in de vroege ochtenduren ("moto mafkezen nog niet wakker") op de fietsronde Furka/Gotthard/Nufenen.
Na start in Oberwald tussen naaldwouden slingerend naar omhoog steeds in de nabijheid vh. Furka bergspoor. Na doortocht van het vergane glorie dorp Gletsch (afslag Grimselpass) kan je op een licht draaiend stuk de indrukwekkende haarspeldbochtenreeks,met in één bocht het gesloten Hotel Belvédere,voor je zien op de kale bergwand.
Steilste deel van de klim ligt voor en na dit iconisch hotel.
Pashoogte is verlaten maar wel met 360° besneeuwde alpentoppen panorama.

18 haarspeldbochten,3 bergspoorovergangen,(tip) Bij fietsronde kan men na de afdaling vd. Nufenenpas in Ulrichen autovrij langs de rivier tot Oberwald fietsen.

Fantastische fietsregio!!!!

Oppassen voor die mafkezen uit Italië die allemaal denken dat ze Valentino Rossi zijn. Vooral op zaterdag en zondag oppassen geblazen. Prachtige klim, mooie en goede weg en adembenemend uitzicht.
