Beautiful, hidden gem of a climb. Strava suggested this was going to be gravel in points however the Road surface was bowling green smooth for the first 6k of the ascent and only in the final couple of hundred meters did it turn into a farm track. On a hot August day I was very grateful for the water trough in the farm at 1,500m elevation just before the final kicker to the top of the climb. The whole climb I probably saw 1 car, 4 mountain bikers and endless beautiful views back down into the valley.
Initially the road surface on the descent to Ríein was more broken up and had some loose gravel at points (I’m certainly not the best descender and was fine on my road bike) and then suddenly you’re back on smooth tarmac and empty roads and you could almost convince yourself you’re flying out front in the Tour de France!
Beautiful climb, often do a lap of this from Valendas to Dutjen. Rarely traffic or 1 tractor with in Dutjen at farmer's self-service coffee, cake etc with pot to pay. Great descent with sublime views of mountain peaks. Absolutely recommended. Unknown, secret climb. Close to Oberalp pass and other nice famous cols in the region but very many cars and motorbikes there. Dutjen round as good as private, don't tell :), lovely!
Prachtige klim, doe vaak een ronde met deze vanuit Valendas naar Dutjen. Zelden verkeer of 1 tractor met in Dutjen bij boer selfservice koffie, cake etc.. met potje om te betalen. Geweldige afdaling met subliem uitzicht op bergtoppen. Absoluut aanrader. Onbekende, geheime klim. Dichtbij Oberalp pas en andere mooie bekende cols in de regio maar daar rijden zeer veel auto’s en motoren. Dutjen ronde zo goed als privé, niet doorvertellen :), heerlijk!
