A lovely climb with little traffic. Road surface overall is good. A few kilometres after Luson, the road narrows all the way to the top, and here you face the most difficult KM's of the climb. At the summit there are two refugios where you can stop for food/drinks.

Departing from Bressanone/Brixen there are two possible routes to the summit, one of which is via Luson/Lüsen.
A bit of pedalling via hairpin bends to get out of the town of departure, followed by a plateau and even a bit of downhill.
From the centre of Luson it's uphill again, followed by a plateau. After Pezzé/Petschied the road is reduced to a narrow asphalt lane (stop heavy traffic) in a narrow valley upstream along the
Rio Luson/Lasanke mountain river which you cross dozens of times via wooden bridges. There is hardly any traffic and most of the time you are alone in a wonderful uninhabited mountain world. For about 6 km. it's seriously steep, including some double-digit gradients.
At the end of the valley, at 3 km. from the pass height, you join two other routes. One also starting just outside Bressanone/Brixen in Milland and this one through the Villnösdal/Val di Funes starting in Fermata di Funes.
Last kilometers together to the top are quite doable compared to what was already behind. The summit with refreshment facilities is dominated by the imposing peaks of the Puez-Odle National Park, which could already be seen from afar during the climb.
Heaviest climb to this not-so-famous pass which offers many beautiful and peaceful cycling opportunities through its various routes. Highly recommended!
Vertrekkend vanuit Bressanone/Brixen zijn er twee mogelijke routes naar de top waaronder deze via Luson/Lüsen.
Even op de trappers via haarspeldbochten om vertrekstad uit te fietsen gevolgd door plateau en zelfs even bergaf
Vanaf het centrum van Luson is het terug bergop weer gevolgd door een plateau. Na Pezzé/Petschied is de weg gereduceerd tot een smal asfaltbaantje (stop zwaar verkeer) in een nauw dal stroomopwaarts langs de
Rio Luson/Lasanke bergrivier dewelke je via houten bruggetjes tientallen keren kruist. Er is amper verkeer en je fietst meestal eenzaam in een wondermooie onbewoonde bergwereld. Gedurende een 6 tal kilometer is het serieus steil waaronder enkele stroken met dubbele cijfers.
Op het einde van het dal, op 3 km. van de pashoogte, vervoeg je twee andere routes. De ene ook startend even buiten Bressanone/Brixen in Milland en deze door het Villnösdal/Val di Funes vertrekkend in Fermata di Funes.
Laatste kilometers samen tot de top zijn best te doen vergeleken met wat er al achter de rug was. Pashoogte met drank en eetgelegenheid wordt gedomineerd door de imposante pieken van het Nationaal park Puez-Odle dewelke reeds tijdens de klim van ver te zien waren.
Zwaarste klimweg naar deze niet zo bekende pas die door zijn verschillende routes veel prachtige en rustige fietsmogelijkheden biedt. Aanrader!!!
