Great climb! Super steep start, really takes some pushing. After the clearly visible bend, the gradient decreases for a while before picking up again after the right-hand bend to a bit 11%. After that, you've had the worst of it and it's off cycling to the top.
From there it goes down slowly before reaching the highest part of the climb (not in this profile) with a steep section.
Even though the climb is not that high, the scenery makes it feel like a real high mountain pass, with poles for snow along the way and a dramatic landscape with great views and beautiful lochs. At least, if the weather allows you to see any of it.

Geweldig mooie klim! Super steil begin, is echt even flink aanzetten. Na de duidelijk zichtbare knik neemt het stijgingspercentage even af om na de bocht naar rechts nog een keer aan te trekken naar een stukje 11%. Daarna heb je het ergste gehad en is het uitfietsen naar de top.
Vanaf daar gaat het langzaam naar beneden om vervolgens met een steil deel het hoogste deel van de klim te bereiken (niet in dit profiel).
Ook al is de klim niet zo hoog, het voelt door de omgeving als een echte pas in het hooggebergte, met palen voor de sneeuw langs de weg en een dramatisch landschap met geweldige vergezichten en prachtige lochs. Tenminste, als het weer het toelaat dat je er iets van ziet.
