Beautiful valley, fairly tidy road and fairly easy ascent, the traffic is moderate but decreases the higher you go. I highly recommend it because it is absolutely worth it!... read more

Bellissima valle, strada abbastanza in ordine e salita abbastanza facile, il traffico è moderato ma più si sale più diminuisce. Consiglio vivamente perché ne vale assolutamente la pena!

The Bavona Valley is probably one of the most beautiful inhabited valleys in Switzerland. This ascent to the end of the road is moderate throughout, never steep and 100％ beautiful!

Das Bavonatal ist wohl eins der schönsten, bewohnten Täler der Schweiz. Dieser Anstieg bis zum Ende der Strasse ist durchgehend moderat, nie steil und 100％ schön!

The climb itself is not very difficult, although its being "stepped" almost never smooth, does not make things any easier. But there are no words to describe the outrageous beauty of this valley.

La salita di per sé non è molto difficile, anche se il suo essere "a scalini", quasi mai regolare, non facilità le cose. Ma non ci sono parole per descrivere le scandalosa bellezza di questa valle.
