I tackled this climb on a Saturday in early October. I knew I would find snow on the summit but hoped for better conditions at the start: in Disentis 10 °C, little sun and a light but cold breeze. The positive aspect in all this is the almost zero traffic (few cars, no motorbikes). The ascent mirrors the altitude profile in every respect: low, regular gradients allow a smooth and never tiring ride. The surroundings are beautiful, on the left you can see some side valleys and a dam, on the right the Rhaetian Railway with the unmistakable little red train that will climb with you up to the pass!
Ho affrontato questa salita un sabato di inizio di Ottobre, sapevo di trovare neve in vetta ma speravo in condizioni migliori alla partenza: a Disentis 10 °C, poco sole ed un venticello leggero ma freddo. Il risvolto positivo in tutto ciò è il traffico pressochè nullo (poche auto, nessuna moto). La salita rispecchia in tutto e per tutto il profilo altimetrico: pendenze basse e regolari permettono una pedalata fluida e mai affannata. L'ambiente circostante è stupendo, sulla sinistra si scorgono alcune valli laterali e una diga, sulla destra la ferrovia retica con l'inconfondibile trenino rosso che salirà con voi fino al passo!
Nice climb in a beautiful mountain landscape with a long gentle run through small villages and a tough finish to the lighthouse on the pass height.
On the way in Sedrun is a side road up and down to the reservoir of Nalps an absolute must (see Climbfinder Stausee Nalps)!
Ideal "in cycling" climb for sturdier cycling in the area (Furka/Nufenen/Gotthard).
Mooie klim in een prachtig berglandschap met een lange gezapige aanloop door kleine dorpjes en een pittig slot tot de vuurtoren op de pashoogte.
Onderweg in Sedrun is een zijweg op en af naar het stuwmeer van Nalps een absolute aanrader (zie Climbfinder Stausee Nalps)!
Ideale "in fiets" klim voor steviger fietswerk in de omgeving (Furka/Nufenen/Gotthard).
