A typical Swiss climb. A climb you have never heard of, but which scores a lot more climbing points than Alp d'Huez. From the centre of Grindelwald, the climb initially starts quietly, after which you immediately have to overcome a 300m wall with stretches of >20％.

A typical Swiss climb. A climb you have never heard of, but which scores a lot more climbing points than Alp d'Huez. From the centre of Grindelwald, the climb initially starts quietly, after which you immediately have to overcome a 300m wall with stretches of >20％.
After that, there is some time to catch your breath before the gradient never actually drops below 10％.
While climbing, there are two things to watch out for, namely the local bus taking tourists to 'restaurant Busalp' and the breathtaking views of the Eiger and its surroundings.

Een typisch Zwitserse beklimming. Een beklimming waar je nog nooit van gehoord hebt, maar die wel een pak meer klimpunten scoort dan Alp d'Huez. Vanuit het centrum van Grindelwald begint de klim in eerste instantie rustig, waarna je gelijk een muur moet overwinnen van 300m met stukken van >20％.
Daarna is er even tijd om op adem te komen voordat het stijgingspercentage eigenlijk nooit onder de 10％ zakt.
Tijdens het klimmen is het zaak om op 2 zaken te letten, namelijk de plaatselijke bus die toeristen naar 'restaurant Busalp' brengt, en de adembenemende uitzichten op de Eiger en omgeving.

Voor wie zich echt wil uitsloven kan doorfietsen naar Oberläger, maar normale stervelingen vinden Busalp een welverdiend eindpunt.
