Starting point of this climb can be reached car-free via the cycle path along the Passierio and Adige river from Merano.
A few hairpin bends on this cycle path take you up the flank above the river, to the Alte Landstrasse / Strada Vecchia where the turn-off is signposted.
The first kilometre to Oberplars / Plars di Sopra first winds through the village centre, then through the grape and apple orchards typical of the region.
Then a series of hairpin bends through pine forest to
Vellau / Vello where the valley station of tourist cable car takes hikers, standing in trays, to the Texel high mountains .
The route then narrows to a single carriageway with poor road surface but no traffic and a new series of bends follows through an uninhabited world in which you cycle under the cable lift several times and are regularly treated to panoramic views.
The road ends in the yard of Gasthaus Oberplatzerhof.
You can eat and drink there.
Thanks to Climbfinder, no more hidden gem ,
but a tough climb (10％ average) in beautiful natural surroundings.
Startpunt van deze klim is autovrij bereikbaar via de fietsweg langs de Passierio en Adige rivier vanuit Merano.
Enkele haarspeldbochten op dit fietspad brengen je naar omhoog op de flank boven de rivier, tot op de Alte Landstrasse / Strada Vecchia alwaar de afslag staat aangegeven.
Eerste kilometer tot Oberplars / Plars di Sopra slingert eerst door de dorpskern, nadien door de voor de regio typische druiven- en appelboomgaarden.
Vervolgens een reeks haarspeldbochten door naaldwoud tot
Vellau / Vello waar het dalstation van toeristische kabellift wandelaars, staande in bakjes, naar het Texel hooggebergte brengt .
Route versmalt dan tot 1 rijbaan met slecht wegdek doch zonder verkeer en een nieuwe reeks bochten volgt door onbewoonde wereld waarin je nog enkele keren onderdoor de kabellift fietst en regelmatig word getrakteerd op panoramische uitzichten.
De weg eindigt op het erf van Gasthaus Oberplatzerhof.
Je kan er eten en drinken.
Dankzij Climbfinder geen verborgen juweel meer ,
maar een stevige klim (gemiddeld 10％) in prachtig natuurkader.
