A beautiful climb back up to the Col de Sanetsch, in case you don’t take the cable car to Gsteig in the neighboring valley. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take the cable car because of the extremely hot weather, so we decided to cycle back to the Rhone Valley. However, this climb shouldn’t be underestimated—the worst part comes at the very end. Fortunately, the road surface is excellent (except for a few spots along the reservoir) and the views are stunning, so this climb is definitely not a ... read more

A beautiful climb back up to the Col de Sanetsch, in case you don’t take the cable car to Gsteig in the neighboring valley. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take the cable car because of the extremely hot weather, so we decided to cycle back to the Rhone Valley. However, this climb shouldn’t be underestimated—the worst part comes at the very end. Fortunately, the road surface is excellent (except for a few spots along the reservoir) and the views are stunning, so this climb is definitely not a punishment! Highly recommended!

Mooie klim terug naar de Col de Sanetsch voor het geval je niet de kabelbaan naar Gsteig neemt in het naastgelegen dal. Ik kon de kabelbaan helaas niet nemen vanwege het extreem warme weer waardoor we besloten om weer naar het Rhonedal terug te fietsen. Deze klim is echter niet te onderschatten, waarbij het venijn in de staart zit. Gelukkig is het asfalt prima (op enkele plekken langs het stuwmeer na) en zijn de uitzichten prachtig, dus deze klim is zeker geen bestraffing! Zeker een aanrader!
