Really enjoyed this unknown climb towards Mon from Tiefencastel. However, with tired legs it was not easy. On a perfect tarmac road, the percentage quickly rises to double digits. Just before you enter Mon, you have the possibility (like me) to take the exit to Stierva where the climb continues for quite a while (see Alp da Stierva). Warmly recommended!... read more

Erg genoten van deze onbekende klim richting Mon vanuit Tiefencastel. Met vermoeide benen viel deze echter niet mee. Op een perfecte geasfalteerde weg loopt het percentage snel op tot dubbele cijfers. Vlak voordat je Mon binnen rijdt, heb je overigens de mogelijkheid om (net als ik) de afslag richting Stierva te nemen waar de klim nog een heel eind doorloopt (zie Alp da Stierva). Warm aanbevolen!

Very nice alternative for the start of the Julier Pass from Tiefencastel. Until Mon perfect asphalt, then reasonable. Road with beautiful small villages, churches and some nice panoramas. The road is very quiet, which makes it a good alternative for the 'big road'to the Julier Pass, for people who like beautiful views and quieter roads. That provides about 200 altimeters more.

Zeer mooi alternatief voor het begin van de Julierpas vanuit Tiefencastel. Tot aan Mon perfect asfalt, daarna redelijk. Weg met mooie kleine dorpjes, kerkjes en een aantal mooie panorama's. De weg is heel erg rustig, wat het dus een goed alternatief maakt voor de 'grote weg' naar de Julierpas, voor mensen die van mooie uitzichten en wat rustigere wegen houden. Dat levert wel zo'n 200 hoogtemeters meer op.
