Serfaus from Ried im Oberinntal via Ladis

Nice climb towards Serfaus. The first three kilometres are the toughest but doable. From there it becomes gentler in terms of gradients and towards the end even some descending sections. Close to Serfaus you come to a barrier where cyclists are allowed to cycle through.

I can only comment on the climb up to Ladis, surely the toughest part. From the bridge at Ried it's not super steep yet, busy though and with fine asphalt. As soon as you take the exit to Ladis it becomes much quieter. And you can also hear your breathing a lot more as it goes into the double digits. Especially after the first hairpin, a long stretch of steep looms up. I saw 17％ on my Wahoo. Fortunately, there are some views towards the Oberinntal and later you cycle with a view of the beautiful Burg Laudeck as well. Nice aiming point. Once in Ladis, just before the Burgsee, you take another hairpin turn to the left. In that bend is one of those typical drinking fountains. If you have to choose Serfaus, Fiss or Ladis for a summer retreat then I would pick the latter.

This climb is so much nicer than the shorter route to Serfaus. Less traffic, nicer roads, etc. Definitely recommended and ten times better than the alternative.
