The climb itself is quite tough in terms of steepness. Most of the climb you cycle between the woods so you are well protected from the sun. Once at the top, you can continue cycling for a bit until you reach a transmission tower, where the view is great. The last bit you will have to walk, because there the road surface is extremely steep and not rideable because of all the stones.
Ik heb deze klim gedaan als vervolg op de Mendel pas. Als je dit ook van plan bent: niet te hard gaan op de Mendel pas, je zult al je energie nodig hebben voor deze klim!
Het wegdek is niet in de beste staat. Een voordeel is wel dat de weg extreem rustig is, deze wordt alleen gebruikt door bezoekers van een hotel dat boven op de top ligt of wandelaars.
De klim zelf is best pittig qua steigingspercentage. Het grootste deel van de klim fiets je tussen de bossen door dus je bent goed beschut tegen de zon. Eenmaal boven kun je nog een stukje doorfietsen tot een zendmast, daar is het uitzicht geweldig. Het laatste stukje zul je wel moeten lopen, want daar is het wegdek extreem steil en door alle stenen niet te berijden.
Short steep climb that is fresh in summer (shade and altitude) with few traffic. Worth to train your legs keeping them up. You can climb Mendelpass from Kaltern yourself (+950mt +2hr), or with a panoramic cable car (+0mt +15min on a masterpiece of mechanical engineering) and then attempt this climb quite quickly. Enjoy a long descent (20 Km) to Kaltern again.
Cable car can be busy in full summer - first car leaving at 8.13 AM may be less crowded.
