The climb to Tschiertschen is a lovely one, much quieter than the one to Arosa. From Passugg you get to work straight away; you'll soon be at 9％. What not many people do, but which is definitely recommended, is to cycle on to Sankt Peter after Tschiertschen. You then end up on the ascent to Arosa. The advantage is that you have skipped the busy stretch from Chur. I've done this climb this way more than 15 times, and it still doesn't bore me.... read more

De klim naar Tschiertschen is een heerlijke klim, veel rustiger dan die naar Arosa. Vanuit Passugg mag je direct aan het werk; je zit dan al snel op 9％. Wat niet veel mensen doen, maar wat zeker aan te raden is, is om na Tschiertschen door te fietsen naar Sankt Peter. Je komt dan uit op de beklimming naar Arosa. Het voordeel is dat je het drukke stuk vanuit Chur hebt overgeslagen. Ik heb deze klim al meer dan vijftien keer op deze manier gedaan, en hij verveelt nog steeds niet.

The gentle and shorter variant of the climb to Arosa(along the other side of the Valley). Emerging in a pretty village.

De rustige en kortere variant op de beklimming naar Arosa(langs de andere kant van de Vallei). Uitkomst in een mooi dorpje.
