If you come on the MTB, then the last 1.5km of the climb awaits you with a tough challenge on unpaved road to Kleine Scheidegg where restaurants await you.

If you have ever been skiing in the Jungfrau region, you will recognise the road from Brandegg to the end of the climb. After all, it is the popular valley descent towards Grindelwald.

Het uitzicht is zo nu en dan adembenemend, omdat je steeds dichter bij de Eiger Nordwand komt.
Deze klim wordt minder vaak gefietst met de wielrenfiets.

Fit komt omdat je vanaf het eindpunt op deze climbfinder-route onverhard door moet tot aan Kl.Scheidegg. Daardoor is de klim meer geschikt voor de MTB. Hij is dan ook opgenomen in de Inferno-triatlon. Kom je op de MTB, dan wacht je in de laatste 1,5km nog een zware dobber op onverharde weg tot aan de Kleine Scheidegg waar de restaurants op je wachten.

Ben je weleens wezen skiën in de Jungfrau-regio, dan zal je de weg herkennen vanaf Brandegg tot aan het eindpunt van de klim. Het is namelijk de populaire dalafdaling richting Grindelwald.
