Very beautiful ascent, unfortunately often heavy traffic with many speeding drivers.
Sehr schöner Aufstieg, leider oft starker Verkehr mit vielen rasenden Fahrern.
Nice climb; 20 kilometres, but never really (for long) in the double digits. Really a climb to get into a rhythm, which is not obvious in this region. Last kilometres to the top gives beautiful views of the surrounding peaks and the valley. Two points of interest. Lots of motards also find this a nice climb and combined with the fact that this is surely also a crossing route for cars's to the Brenner, you are never alone here. Second point of interest is the poor asphalt in the descent to Sterzing, while the profile of this descent lends itself to higher speeds.
Mooie klim; 20 kilometer, maar nooit echt (lang) in de dubbele cijfers. Echt een klim om in een ritme te komen, wat in deze regio niet vanzelfsprekend is. Laatste kilometers naar de top geeft prachtige uitzichten op de omliggende toppen en het dal. Twee aandachtspunten. Heel veel motards vinden dit ook een mooie klim en in combinatie met dat dit toch ook wel een doorsteekroute voor auto's naar de Brenner is, ben je hier nooit alleen. Tweede aandachtspunt is het slechte asfalt in afdaling naar Sterzing, terwijl deze afdaling qua profiel zich wel voor hogere snelheden leent.
Having climbed Corpus Christi Thursday in the early afternoon, I suffered from the high Austrian and German traffic as well as the high temperatures (the alternative was the nearby Rombo pass where both traffic and heat are worse). It was due to these factors combined with the length and gradients of the climb that I found the ride more tiring than I expected. Everything is repaid by a practically constant panoramic view. Fountain on the hairpin bend at 1000 and in the hamlet of Valtina at 1300.
Salito il giovedì di Corpus Domini nel primo pomeriggio ho sofferto l'elevato traffico austriaco e tedesco oltre che le temperature alte (l'alternativa era il vicino passo Rombo dove sia traffico che caldo sono peggio). Sarà per questi fattori uniti alla lunghezza e alle pendenze della salita che ho trovato la pedalata più faticosa di quanto mi aspettassi. Il tutto è ripagato da una vista panoramica praticamente costante. Fontana sul tornante a quota 1000 e nella frazione Valtina a 1300.
Nice climb from the valley. Large part between trees, so nice and cool. In addition, the climb is largely in the shade in the morning. Most beautiful part are the last kilometres above the tree line. 3-4 bar restaurants/ cafes along the way and, of course, at the summit.
Mooie klim vanuit de vallei. Groot deel tussen de bomen, dus lekker koel. Daarnaast ligt de klim in de ochtend voor een groot deel in de schaduw. Mooiste deel zijn de laatste kilometers boven de bomen grens. 3-4 bar restaurants/ cafe’s onderweg en natuurlijk op de top.
Good climb. Starting in St. Leonardo is quite nice, as the switchbacks there are very picturesque. The climb is also great - not super challenging, very steady, but long. Great workout, no surprises, no steep ramps or flat sections. It's like someone designed it to be 8% on the dot. There are shaded sections, possibility to get some cold drinks halfway up, and the view up the last section of switchbacks is great.
However, there's an enormous amount of bikers. To the point of feeling a little unsafe. The cafe at the top is a giant motorcycle parking lot, and it's quite unpleasant up there due to wind, noise, and ridiculous prices.
Good climb from San Leonardo. It takes a while and there are some sections that flirt with 12+deg. There was quite a lot of wind at the top. I counted more fancy cars than cyclists. The road surface is not ideal if you are looking for a fast descent.
Cycled the longer and to my mind the most difficult side of this beautiful and less known Jaufenpas/Passo Monte Giovo from the touristic San Leonardo in Passiria.
The climb starts firmly via a series of hairpin bends out of the valley between the pine trees where the picturesque starting point sinks deeper and deeper under you. Middle part is slightly twisting between small villages and guesthouses (food / drink) to the last part back through hairpin bends to the tree line to the narrow pass between two ridges squeezed.
Only tourist traffic. Kilometer poles that add up to the pass height (top is Km 40).
Fairly long and steep climb but the magnificent panorama's on the way distract your attention from it !
Langere en naar mijn aanvoelen moeilijkste zijde van deze prachtige minder gekende Jaufenpas/Passo Monte Giovo op gefietst vanuit het toeristische San Leonardo in Passiria.
De klim start stevig via een reeks haarspeldbochten het dal uit tussen de naaldbomen waardoor het pittoresk vertrekpunt steeds dieper onder je wegzakt. Middendeel is licht draaiend tussen kleine dorpjes en gasthoven (eten/drinken) om in het laatste deel terug via haarspeldbochten de boomgrens te overstijgen naar de enge pasovergang tussen twee bergkammen gekneld.
Alleen toeristisch verkeer. Kilometerpalen die optellen naar de pashoogte (top is Km 40).
Redelijk lang en stevig klimwerk maar de schitterende panorama's onderweg leiden je aandacht hiervan af !
