This climb is recommended if you are in the area, though. Grenchen is not unknown to cycling fans (Velodrome and BMC). The climb is very doable as it is very constant. Most of the climb is through the forest so you are very well sheltered. The road surface does leave something to be desired. Lots of small cracks and repairs. I did the climb on a Wednesday and there was hardly any traffic.... read more

Deze beklimming is wel aan te raden als je in de buurt bent. Grenchen is niet onbekend bij de wielerliefhebber (Velodroom en BMC). De klim is heel erg goed te doen doordat ie heel constant is. Het grootste gedeelte van de klim gaat door het bos dus ben je heel goed beschut. Het wegdek laat wel iets te wensen over. Veel kleine scheurtjes en reparaties. Ik heb de klim op een woensdag gedaan en er was amper verkeer.
