We did this in May, the climb was steady with little change in gradient winding through the forest with lovely views. We got tortured on the decent with freezing temperatures and horrific rain 😬🤣... read more

The Jaufenpass, (Passo di Monte Giovo in Italian), is the most northern Alpine pass in Italy. the scenery and buildings look Austrian, the local language is German, and so it's easy to forget you are in Italy. Pretty even gradient, occasional views, a bit bleak at the summit. Here's a video of my climb, https://youtu.be/6ug25wZat1o?si=d6dBI4LkWmtFurBL

Not the most spectacularly beautiful pass, but at 2094m, the views at the top are terrific. We had the summit to ourselves at night in the campervan, but it's proximity to the Brenner pass brought swarms of motos up the mountain in the daytime.

A couple of these German bikers borrowed my bike foot pump. I thought they were being a bit vigorous with it, but only discovered later that their exertion had melted the valve. So guys, if you are reading this....

To avoid the extreme heat (33°C in Vipiteno/Sterzing) I cycled up the Jaufenpas/Passo Giovo in the early morning.
Beautiful climb that felt even, without extremes and abrupt transitions in gradient. Most of the climb winds through pine forests, occasionally interrupted by a beautiful panorama. Only the last 2 km one suddenly leaves the green shelter to cycle through the last hairpins between the open rocky plain to the visible summit between two mountain ridges.
There is only tourist traffic. Refuelling is possible at the top and on the way in the village of Kalch.
The kilometre markers count down to the pass height (summit is KM 40).

A challenging climb, also known as the penultimate climb of the Ötztaler Radmarathon.

Om de toen extreme hitte (33°C Vipiteno/Sterzing) te vermijden in de vroege ochtend de Jaufenpas/Passo Giovo op gefietst.
Prachtige klim die gelijkmatig aanvoelde, zonder extremen en bruuske overgangen in stijging. Grootste deel van de klim slingert door de naaldbossen, af en toe onderbroken voor een prachtig panorama. Alleen de laatste 2 km verlaat men plots de groene beschutting om via de laatste haarspeldbochten tussen de open rotsvlakte naar de zichtbare top tussen twee bergkammen te fietsen.
Er is alleen toeristisch verkeer. Bevoorrading kan op de top en onderweg in dorpje Kalch.
De kilometerpalen tellen af naar de pashoogte (top is KM 40).

Pittige uitdagende klim,ook gekend als voorlaatste klim uit de Ötztaler Radmarathon.

Quite an unpleasant climb, in the sense of pushing for a very long time in a percentage that is just not right for a smooth rhythm. But you have to get over it, because there are no easier climbs on the same ridge. The last three kilometers are a party, I was one of the people who had some energy left, so you can accelerate quite a bit and pick up other cyclists there.

Best een vervelende klim toch, in de zin van heel erg lang doorduwen in een percentage dat net niet lekker is voor een soepel ritme. Maar je moet eroverheen, want er liggen geen makkelijkere beklimmingen over dezelfde bergkam. De laatste drie kilometer zijn een feestje, ik hoorde bij die mensen die puf over hadden dus daar kun je nog even aardig versnellen en andere fietsers oprapen.
