The climb of the Klausenpass from Atdorf (Willem Tell) was a wonderful experience.Long but quite doable with all those views and flowers everywhere.Totally different scenery than e.g. Mont Ventoux.When you cycle a bit further to Wassen (Sustenpass) and Andermatt (Gothardpass,Oberalppass,Furkapass with the Rhone glacier) you come across climbs in more or less the same natural conditions.

A fairly steady, and fairly easy (for Swiss Alps) climb. The pass itself is not that interesting, and the traffic can get quite heavy, too. I would say going there once is enough.

Climbed it last year during a short cycling trip to Switzerland. It's already my favourite cycling country, and this one, together with the Grimsel/Furka transition, is the cycling highlight. Beautiful col, stunning surroundings!
Loop Klausen - Pragelpas is perhaps even the most beautiful I have ever cycled.
