This really is the pass to take when you're staying in the magnificent city of Salzburg and are a fan of climbing as a cyclist. You can set off from the historic center or a little further into the city's suburbs. Before turning off onto Gaisbergstrasse, the traffic can be quite heavy, but there's a good cycle path in places to make it more comfortable. In absolute terms, this climb wouldn't be difficult if it weren't for the last 2.5 km at an average of 12%, which are really tough.
C'est vraiment le col à effectuer quand on séjourne dans la magnifique ville de Salzbourg et qu'on est fan de montées en tant que cyclo. Alors on peut partir depuis le centre historique ou un peu plus loin dans la banlieue de la ville. Avant de bifurquer sur la Gaisbergstrasse, le traffic peut être assez important mais il y a à certains endroits une bonne piste cyclable pour être plus à l'aise. Dans l'absolu cette montée ne serait pas difficile s'il n'y avait pas les 2,5 derniers kms à du 12% de moyenne qui sont vraiment difficiles.
The Salzburg classic, great road and not too steep until the end
Would highly recommend this climb, it's tough but just on the right side of too tough. Huts selling drink about 75％ of the way up and then also at the top. Can get the bus back down if you don't want to descend. Yes traffic can be high, lots of narrow points and buses can push the boundaries of safe overtakes but if you time it right then it's great, they do carfree days throughout the year. The surface is also good and smooth.
Nice climb almost directly from Salzburg. The road is good and wide, but there is a lot of (car) traffic going up, especially if you do this 'afternoon after work. Last three km are tough, with the added challenge that it starts with a long, straight, steep section. So you can see it gets tough (the steepest is still around the bend, by the way). At the top is a tap for water, handy if you get to the top thirsty. Afterwards, you can enjoy a nice view of the city and beyond.
Leuke klim vrijwel direct vanuit Salzburg. De weg is goed en breed, maar er gaat wel veel (auto) verkeer naar boven, zeker als je dit 's middags na je werk doet. Laatste drie km zijn pittig, met als extra uitdaging dat het begint met een lang, recht, steil stuk. Je ziet dus dat het zwaar wordt (het steilste zit overigens nog om de bocht). Bovenop is een kraantje voor water, handig als je dorstig bovenkomt. Daarna kan je genieten van een mooi uitzicht over de stad en verder.
The first part is a nice climb up to Zistelalm, then it is toil and sweat to reach the top. Fortunately, as a reward, you can take a terrace at the top and enjoy the view.
Nice to combine with the Heuberg.
Het eerste deel is een leuke klim tot aan Zistelalm, daarna is het zwoegen en zweten om de top te bereiken. Gelukkig kan je boven als beloning een terrasje doen en genieten van het zicht.
Leuk om te combineren met de Heuberg.
Nice discovery via Climbfinder.nl and it's not the first one!

At the top, you have a beautiful view of the region. The whole region is a discovery for me.
I descended to Salzburg-Aigen. The steep last km's you have along each side. I must say the total climb is probably from Salzburg-Aigen much nicer and a narrower path. Slightly less traffic. And still typical Austrian top road surface.
Leuke ontdekking gedaan via Climbfinder.nl en dat is heus niet de eerste!
Leuke klim met zware slotkilometers. De laatste 2,5 à 3 km zakt het percentage niet meer onder de 11 tot 14％.
Er is geen enkel recuperatie moment.
Boven op de top heb je een prachtig zicht op de regio. De ganse regio is trouwens voor mij een ontdekking.
Ik ben zelf afgedaald naar Salzburg-Aigen. De steile laatste km's heb je immers langs elke kant. Ik moet zeggen de totale klim is waarschijnlijk vanuit Salzburg-Aigen nog veel mooier een smaller pad. Iets minder verkeer. En nog altijd typisch Oostenrijks top wegdek.
