Just rode this today. As mentioned by others, the 5km from San Pietro are tough. Billed as 8.5% avg., there are multiple steep sections of up to 15% which really hurt the legs. The road surface after Colle isn’t great in parts, so pay attention on the descent. No issues on the way up though. Still a really nice ride, and the scenery is stunning!
A long 25.5km pass at (just) 5.9％. Don't be fooled, this climb isn't easy. The first 8km don't present any major difficulties, but the 4-5km out of San Pietro are downright deadly, with big percentages (13-14％, even more) over long stretches. The rest is quieter, and the scenery even nicer.
A must-do if you're in the area!
Un long col de 25,5 km à (seulement) 5,9％. Ne pas s’y fier, cette ascension n’est pas simple. Les 8 premiers km ne présentent pas de difficultés majeures, mais les 4-5 km à la sortie de San Pietro sont carrément mortels, avec des gros pourcentages (13-14％, voir plus) sur de longs tronçons. La suite est plus calme, et les paysages encore plus sympas.
À faire si vous êtes dans le coin!
Tough climb don't be fooled by the average gradient of 6.6％ going up from Val di Funes the first 15 km you see little or no 6％ you also touch the 14 - 15 ％ then almost at the top the road also goes downhill for a small stretch however you will find little traffic.
Salita tosta non fatevi ingannare dalla pendenza media 6,6％ salendo dalla val di funes i primi 15 km il 6％ lo vedete poco o niente si tocca anche il 14 - 15 ％ poi quasi in cima la strada va anche in discesa per un piccolo tratto comunque troverete poco traffico .
One of the five possible routes to the summit of the Passo delle Erbe / Würzjoch starts after you come from Bressanone/Brixen via the busy SS12 just before Chiusa/Klaussen you turn off (signpost) towards Val di Funes/Villnöstal.
After passing under the Brenner motorway it starts immediately spectacular with a 1km long passage through a narrow gorge after which the side valley widens again and we regularly cross the river upstream. In the village of San Pietro you leave the valley road on your left to climb up the flank on a narrow lane (1 lane and from this point on hardly any traffic). The average kilometre graph of CF gives a distorted picture because there are irregular gradients with sometimes short steep sections (16％). But you do cycle in an uninhabited beautiful mountain world.
For the last part of the climb you'll end up on the same route as the one from Milland and after a descent you'll join it via Luson/Lüsen, before cycling the last kilometres up to the pass height. The summit with its café/hotel looks out over the imposing peaks of the Puez-Odle National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Not the highest known or busiest Dolomite pass but a nice long one that is definitely worth a ride!
Eén van de vijf mogelijke routes naar de top van de Passo delle Erbe / Würzjoch start nadat je komende van Bressanone/Brixen via de drukke SS12 even voor Chiusa/Klaussen bent afgedraaid (wegwijzer) richting Val di Funes/Villnöstal.
Na het onder doorfietsen van de Brenner autostrade begint het meteen spectaculair met een 1km lange passage door een nauwe kloof waarna het zijdal terug verbreedt en we de rivier stroomopwaarts regelmatig kruisen. In het dorpje San Pietro verlaat je links de dalweg om via een smal baantje (1 rijstrook en vanaf dit punt amper verkeer) de flank op te klimmen. De gemiddelde kilometergrafiek van CF geeft een vertekend beeld want er volgen onregelmatige hellingsgraden met soms korte steile stroken(16％). Maar je fietst wel in een onbewoonde prachtige bergwereld.
Voor het laatste klimdeel beland je op dezelfde klimroute als deze vanuit Milland en na een afdaling vervoeg je ook deze over Luson / Lüsen, alvorens de laatste kilometers tot de pashoogte op te fietsen. Top met café/hotel kijkt uit op de imposante pieken van het nationaal park Puez-Odle (UNESCO werelderfgoed).
Niet de hoogste bekendste of drukste Dolomieten pas maar wel een mooie lange die absoluut de moeite is om op te fietsen!
If you are in the Dolomites during August and you get tired of the crowds and cars on the main climbs, then the Passo del Erbe is your best bet. Calm and beautiful.
