Great climb that I started from Thusis. In fact, this is the ideal warm-up climb for a week of climbing and scrambling. From Hinterrhein, the climb becomes really spectacular with a beautiful series of hairpin bends. Moreover, the percentages are not too bad, which makes it even more enjoyable. In the last few kilometres, you automatically get that typical alpine feeling' especially when you find a beautiful lake at the top. Do not miss it!... read more

This side of the San Bernardino is a fairly easy and very even climb. Because through traffic takes the motorway, this is a very quiet climb. You are spoilt with beautiful hairpin bends all the way up. During the first part you have a view of the valley, during the second part you come to a more rocky alpine landscape. The road surface is superb. I give four stars because it is not the five of really mega-fantastic climbs. 4.5 stars would have been fine too. Top climb!

Deze kant van de San Bernardino is een vrij makkelijke en hele gelijkmatige klim. Omdat het doorgaande verkeer de snelweg pakt is dit een hele rustige klim. Je wordt de hele weg omhoog verwend met mooie haarspelbochten. Tijdens het eerste deel heb je zicht op het dal, tijdens het tweede deel kom je op een meer rotsachtig alpenlandschap. Het wegdek is super. Ik geeft vier sterren omdat het niet de vijf is van de echt mega-fantastische klimmen. 4,5 ster had ook prima gekund. Topklim!

It’s a short but really enjoyable climb. I climbed it at around 5pm and there was hardly any traffic at all. The best part is the long descent towards Bellinzona because there is a great visibility of the road ahead, the road is in good condition and there are very few cars. Views are not super. You can refill your water bottles just before starting at the town of Hinterrhein.

Geweldige beklimming die ik startte vanuit Thusis. In feite is dit de ideale opwarmingsklim voor een weekje klimmen en klauteren. Vanaf Hinterrhein wordt dit de klim pas echt spectaculair met een prachtige serie haarspeldbochten. Bovendien vallen de percentages goed mee, waardoor het nog meer genieten geblazen is. In de laatste kilometers krijg je automatisch dat typische 'alpengevoel' , zeker wanneer je op de top nog een prachtig meer aantreft. Mag je niet missen!

If you like hairpin bends: great! In the beginning there are 16 in a row - they all have a different name - and then some. Once you're through the hairpins you are already at high altitude and it is very beautiful. For Swiss standards, the climb from this side not super high. With this pass you also cross the German-Italian language border.

Als je houdt van haarspeldbochten: top! In het begin komen er 16 achter elkaar - ze hebben allemaal een andere naam - en daarna nog een aantal. Als je eenmaal de brei aan haarspeldbochten door bent zit je gelijk al op grote hoogte en is het erg mooi. Voor Zwitserse begrippen is de klim van deze kant ook niet super hoog. Met deze pas ga je ook de Duits-Italiaanse taalgrens over.
