Beautiful climb with very nice views. In the beginning it bulges smoothly, yet sometimes intervals of about 8 to 9 ％.
The last 5 to 6 kilometres I regularly saw 10 and more pass by on my GPS.
The traffic is not too bad, there are many motorbikes but they don't hinder. A rear light is certainly not an unnecessary luxury (tunnels)....read more

Mooie klim met zeer mooie uitzichten. In het begin bolt hij vlot, toch soms tussenstukken van ca. 8 à 9 ％.
De laatste 5 à 6 kilometers toch geregeld 10 ％ en meer zien passeren op mijn GPS.
Het verkeer valt al bij al wel mee, wel veel moto's maar ze hinderen niet. Achterlicht is zeker geen overbodige luxe (tunnels).

Of the climbs in the immediate vicinity, this one gives you the most sense of conquering a real Alpine col. Not so much because of the heaviness, but because of the length, the increasing steepness and the height. Especially in the first part of the climb, you pass a number of tunnels. A lot of traffic on the way, but that doesn't bother you much as a cyclist.
Van de beklimmingen in de directe omgeving heb je bij deze het meest het idee dat je een echte Alpencol aan het bedwingen bent. Niet zozeer vanwege de zwaarte, maar wel door de lengte, het alsmaar steiler worden en de hoogte. Met name in het eerste deel van de klim passeer je een aantal tunnels. Veel verkeer onderweg, maar daar heb je als fietser niet zoveel last van.
A really nice climb from valley floor to the pass. Great variety of scenery and climbing which ranges from gentle to steep ramps.
This climb can easily be combined with others in the area and well worth doing.

A very nice climb with beautiful views! The climb starts calm and gives you time to warm up the legs. Then there are some very steep passages, which also give you a beautiful view over the valley. This climb is definitely a must, although I would leave early because many motorcyclists and (car) tourers also want to enjoy this beautiful road.
(Don't forget to take the lights on your bike, tourists sometimes have trouble driving and overtaking in tunnels!)
Een hele mooie klim met prachtige vergezichten! De klim begint rustig en geeft je de tijd om de benen even goed op te warmen. Daarna zitten er een aantal zeer stijle passages tussen, waarbij je ook een prachtig uitzicht hebt over de vallei. Deze klim is zeker een aanrader, al zou ik wel vroeg vertrekken aangezien ook veel motorrijders en (auto)toerders graag willen genieten van deze prachtige weg.
(vergeet daarom ook zeker de lampjes op je fiets niet mee te nemen, toeristen hebben nog wel eens moeite met het rijden en inhalen in tunnels!)

I did this climb after Furkajoch in a round trip to Lech with the flexenpass. Was a very nice day.
This climb was disappointing because it was harder than I expected.
The higher you get the more beautiful the landscape becomes.
Heb deze klim na Furkajoch gedaan in een rondje naar Lech met de flexenpass. Was een zeer mooie dag.
Deze klim viel tegen omdat hij zwaarder was dan ik verwachte.
Hoe hoger je komt hoe mooier het landschap wordt.

The climb starts calmly from Schoppernau through a nice narrow valley. At the village of Schröcken it starts to get steeper and the road goes through viaducts with some wide curves. Here the view is really spectacular. Towards the pass you end up on a plain between two mountain ridges. The pass itself consists of parking facilities for winter sports and is nothing special.
De klim start rustig van Schoppernau door een mooi smaller dal. Bij het dorpje Schröcken begint het fors steiler te worden en loop de weg via viaducten met een paar ruime slingers. Hier is het uitzicht echt spectaculair. Richting de pas geraak je op een vlakte tussen twee bergruggen. De pas zelf bestaat uit parkeergelegenheden voor de wintersport en stelt niets voor.
You don't need special gearing for Hochtannbergpass from Au. The slope isn't long or steep enough to require much shifting down. You can conquer this climb on power alone. However, a compact gearing system with a smallest front chainring of 34 and largest rear sprocket of 28 or 30 is always nice if you enjoy cycling uphill. This helps maintain a smooth cadence.
