A beautiful climb that takes you from the village of Varen through a spectacular gorge. After Varen, you’ll cycle along a narrow road past and beneath dramatic rock formations and a few small tunnels. The climb also features quite a few hairpin turns. After the mountain village of Inden, the climb levels off, and a few kilometers further on you’ll arrive in Leukerbad, where you’ll be treated to stunning panoramic mountain views all around. Beautiful!!!!

On the way up nothing special - nice that even in the middle of the day it was mostly in the shade.
On the way down - must be a downhill-bombers paradise - wide road, very good surface, only a few harpins.
