This is a short climb of 3km. The gradient is constantly a 12％. The climb has two curves. After a short run, you get a long stretch of straightforward road through the forest. After the second turn, you climb to the village of Köfels. This last stretch runs along a safe abyss of a few meters. You can find enough good tarmac to descend here and there a bad piece that you can avoid and a whole strip of new tarmac. There is little traffic on the road, so that is ok...... read more

Dit is een korte klim van 3km. Het stijgingspercentage is constant een 12％.
De klim telt twee bochten. Na een korte aanloop krijg je een lange strook rechttoe rechtaan door het bos. Na de tweede bocht klim je naar het dorp Köfels. Deze laatste strook loopt langs een veilige afgrond van een paar meter. Je kan voldoende goed asfalt vinden om te dalen hier en daar een slecht stukje dat je kan ontwijken en over een hele strook nieuw asfalt.
Er zit weinig verkeer op de baan, dus dat is ok...

Frequently Asked Questions

Köfels is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
