Road names: Kulmstrasse & Silumstrasse

5.0 by PeterB53
This is a crazy climb. It is incredibly steep all the way, and still manages to steepen in the end. The start is also one of the harder parts, and thus your legs are tired from the beginning (of course, they might already be tired before beginning if you climbed from the valley). The hairpins are the easiest part (at least the outside) and can offer a chance to take a short break to catch your breath. The ramp at 24% is fairly short, but it is still very hard as the road is 16%-18% leading... read more

This is a crazy climb. It is incredibly steep all the way, and still manages to steepen in the end. The start is also one of the harder parts, and thus your legs are tired from the beginning (of course, they might already be tired before beginning if you climbed from the valley). The hairpins are the easiest part (at least the outside) and can offer a chance to take a short break to catch your breath. The ramp at 24% is fairly short, but it is still very hard as the road is 16%-18% leading up to the ramp.
The view from the climb is amazing, so remember to stop and enjoy it. The climb itself is also a pretty one, going through first a meadow and then some trees. The top is at a very nice tunnel. The tunnel is unlit, but quite short.
The tarmac on the climb is not great, but it is quite manageable. The worst part is at the bottom, where there are deep ruts. If you like to swerve when climbing, this is a big problem.
I saw a couple cars when climbing, both headed up the climb. Even though there weren't many cars, every car is a problem as the road is quite narrow.
When descending I will recommend continuing down to the Stegtunnel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kulmstrasse can be cycled from 2 sides. Kulmstrasse is the most popular side, but the summit can also be reached via Sückastrasse.

Kulmstrasse is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!

Kulmstrasse is a serious climb and falls into the 2nd category. With a good basic fitness level, even without much cycling experience, you can complete this climb just fine. However, a bike with climbing gears is a must. Without experience or training, it will be really tough – but that’s part of the challenge!
