Not so easy as it looks: it constantly switches between little downhills and steep (>10％) ramps. The view is quite nice on the Gantrisch chain while climbing. At the pass you can spot Thun and the lake (if it's not foggy). Lots and lots of motorbikes and cars, though.... read more

I went during the week and only saw one Ferrari shout its way up and the the pass twice so it was OK. I do think at the weekend it would be no fun.
I agree with the other comment that the gradient is deceptive and the change from steep to not so steep was quite exhausting. There is a farm that sells snacks and drinks - which was a life saver in the heat

Nice climb, but too many motorcycles and luxury cars on a Sunday afternoon. We suffered from the noise!

Jolie montée, mais beaucoup trop des motos et des voitures de luxe un dimanche après-midi. On a souffert du bruit!
