Gemengde gevoelens. De eerste 15 km van de klim zijn zeer druk met veel passerend verkeer. Vanaf saas-grund daarentegen wordt het 1 van de mooiste klimmen van Zwitserland. Het landschap rondom begint volledig te veranderen, er is niemand op de baan en het asfalt ligt er fantastich bij. Dus neem die eerste 15km er gewoon bij als opwarming en geniet van de laatste 10. Ook nog eens een mooi uitzicht en restaurant aan het meer.... read more

A very tough climb but with a great view of the lake at the end.

Montée très dure mais qui offre une super vue sur le lac à la fin.

Nice route that is pleasant to drive.
There is relatively heavy traffic at the beginning, but it calms down further on. There are beautiful views along the way. The road surface is generally good. The last part, towards the dam, is a bit tough, but well worth it. Recommended if you are in the area!

Mooie route die prettig te rijden is.
Aan het begin is er relatief veel verkeer, maar verderop wordt het rustiger. Er zijn prachtige uitzichten onderweg. Het wegdek is over het algemeen goed. Het laatste stuk, richting de stuwdam, is nog even pittig, maar zeker de moeite waard. Aanrader als je in de buurt bent!

Long climb that actually starts in Visp. The 1st stretch is therefore very busy and less pleasant. This improves when the road splits and most of the traffic heads towards Zermatt. So the final kilometres become enjoyable, although the slot is very tough. The natural dam suddenly looms in the distance. Beautiful castle with a unique panorama.

Lange klim die eigenlijk begint in Visp. Het 1ste stuk is daardoor erg druk en minder aangenaam. Dit betert wanneer de weg splitst en het meeste verkeer richting Zermatt gaat. Zo worden de laatste kilometers genieten, hoewel het slot erg zwaar is. In de verte doemt opeens de natuurlijke dam op. Prachtig slot met een uniek panorama.

Great ride. Relatively quite roads. Riding in the shade most of the time when ridden in the afternoon. Last stretch is a the tough part.

Wonderful ride. Good tarmac. Rear lights definitely recommended due to number of tunnels. I did the climb from Brig to Visp and picked up the route from there. The sting of the climb is in the last part.

Prachtige rit. Goed asfalt. Lampjes achter zeker aan te raden vanwege aantal tunnels. Zelf de klim gedaan vanaf Brig richting Visp en vanuit hier route opgepakt. Venijn van de klim zit in het laatste deel.
