I totally agree with NicholasDowes, the first reviewer of the climb. The climb is short, but very very hard. I add that the tarmac is not in perfect conditions, so that the climb is even harder.

An extremely hard climb. It’s a narrow tarmac lane that is open to bikes in both directions, but only open to non-resident cars in the downhill direction. The views from the climb itself are ok (if you can take the time to look at them), but it brings you up to Zimmerwald which has spectacular views.
