A tough but beautiful climb, part through Bürchen and from 3.5 to 1.5 km from the summit long sections above the 11％. The descent to Törbel and Stalden is fantastic, then cycle calmly back to Visp.... read more

Pittige maar mooie klim, stuk door Bürchen en vanaf 3,5 tot 1,5 km van de top lange gedeeltes boven de 11％. Afdaling naar Törbel en Stalden fantastisch, daarna rustig weer naar Visp fietsen.

Steady climb on not too wide roads with quite a few hairpins. Only a few places where you can rest your legs, it goes on and on. I found the section through the village of Bürchen the steepest part. On the rest of the track enjoy the surroundings!

Stevige klim over niet al te brede wegen met een behoorlijk aantal haarspeldbochten. Maar een paar plekken waar je even de benen rust kan gunnen, het blijft maar doorgaan. Pittigste stukje vond ik het deel door het dorp Bürchen, daar zitten de steilste stukken. Op de rest van het parcours genieten van de omgeving!
