Calm climb at the start, it gets more complicated after 5 km, with gradients varying between 7 and 11 ％. The scenery is beautiful, a tough climb but we're glad we did it. Be careful, the descent via Horben is quite dangerous.... read more

Ascension calme au début, ça se complique après 5 km, les pourcentages varient entre 7 et 11 ％. Les paysages sont très beaux, une montée dure mais on est content de l'avoir faite. Attention la descente par Horben est assez dangereuse.
