Since we wanted to climb the Hahntennjochpass from Imst and make a lap of it, we did have to cycle via the Namlos Landstrasse and the Fernpass from Biberwier. I don't have any negative experiences like the other cycling colleagues, but am quite moderately positive about this climb. Indeed, from the village you climb the first part via the old Fernpassstrasse, away from the busy traffic. If you cycle on weekdays outside the holiday period, the traffic is not too bad either. From the moment you turn onto the busier pass road, it is only a short climb to the top of the pass. 2 kilometres before, you can also stop at the Zugspitzblick restaurant for a view of that famous mountain peak and a lower idyllic mountain lake. We were lucky on the descent to Nassereith that we had no overtaking traffic; then that descent of the Fernpass is truly phenomenal! So, in my opinion, you definitely don't need to avoid this pass!

Omdat we vanuit Imst de Hahntennjochpass wilden beklimmen en er een ronde van wilden maken, moesten we wel via de Namlos Landstrasse en de Fernpass vanuit Biberwier fietsen. Ik heb geen negatieve ervaringen zoals de andere fietscollega's, maar ben best gematigd positief over deze klim. Vanuit het dorp klim je namelijk het eerste deel via de oude Fernpassstrasse, weg van het drukke verkeer. Als je doordeweeks buiten de vakantieperiode fietst, valt het verkeer ook wel mee. Vanaf het moment dat je de drukkere pasweg opdraait, is het nog maar heel even klimmen tot aan de top van de pas. 2 kilometer ervoor kun je ook nog even stippen bij het restaurant Zugspitzblick voor een zicht op die bekende bergtop en een lager gelegen idyllisch bergmeer. Wij hadden bij de afdaling naar Nassereith geluk dat we geen inhalend verkeer hadden; dan is die afdaling van de Fernpass echt fenomenaal! Naar mijn mening hoef je deze pas dus zeker niet te ontwijken!

Vermijd deze pas. Dit is een zeer drukke weer waar geen ruimte is voor fietsers. Erg gevaarlijk

Horrible. We had the same depressing experience with Tyrolean cycling infrastructure as the other user, in a very stark contrast with Bavaria. At least the road is wide, and if you're lucky, you'll be descending in front of a campervan, which might just be slower than you...

I can only repeat my review of the alternative. We must not waste too many words on this thing.
This is a very busy artery and is full of traffic - buses, trucks, holidaymakers, you name it.
To be avoided like the plague, but the downside is that if you have to cross it, you really have no alternative. There is a cycle path through the forest, but that is completely unsuitable for racing bikes. Only gravel or mountain bikes are allowed.
Especially a warm call to the mayor to asphalt the cycle path or dig a tunnel for the car traffic. A disaster.

Ik kan alleen maar mijn review van het alternatief herhalen. Aan dit ding moeten we niet al te veel woorden vuil maken.
Dit is een zeer drukke verkeersader en zit vol met verkeer autobussen, trucks, vakantiegangers, noem maar op.
Te mijden als de pest, maar het nadeel is dat als je er over moet, heb je echt geen alternatief. Er is een fietspad door het bos, maar dat is compleet racefiets ongeschikt. Enkel gravelbike of mountainbike kan.
Vooral een warme oproep aan de burgemeester om het fietspad te asfalteren of een tunnel te graven voor het autoverkeer. Een ramp.
