Pretty nice climb that mainly winds up between the trees. Very quiet in terms of traffic. But be careful not to crash on the unpaved section. You do get to the top but not ideal for the tyres. As a reward, you get a beautiful typical Swiss Alpine valley view!... read more

Pretty nice climb that mainly winds up between the trees. Very quiet in terms of traffic. But be careful not to crash on the unpaved section. You do get to the top but not ideal for the tyres. As a reward, you get a beautiful typical Swiss Alpine valley view!

Best leuk klimmetje die hoofdzakelijk kronkelend omhoog gaat tussen de bomen. Zeer rustig qua verkeer. Wel opletten dat je niet inslaat op het onverharde stuk. Je komt ook wel boven maar niet ideaal voor de bandjes. Als beloning krijg je een prachtig typisch Zwitsers Alpen dal zicht!
