It's the kind of madness you can find in the Valais, but with an added bonus as you cross the tracks of the Lötschberg train. From the plain there's no place to rest, the gradients are always quite high, the road narrow and not in good condition but it's still a fairly short climb. The traffic is extremely light but beware of the technical descent.... read more

Une folie comme y'en a plein en Valais avec un petit plus vu qu'on croise les voies du train du Lötschberg. Depuis la plaine il n'y a aucun endroit pour se reposer, les pourcentages sont tous le temps assez élevée, la route étroite et pas en bonne état mais sa reste une montée assez courte. La circulation y est extrêment faible mais attention a la descente qui est bien technique.
