The climb is extremely pleasant and very quickly leads to incredible views, the surface is in very good condition. 1km around 8.5％ but before and after it's rolling.

Irregular climb, not difficult, sometimes a bit steeper, but very nice views over the lake!

Lovely little climb, not difficult anywhere, good tarmac, not too much traffic. Great for a relaxed ride. If you want to cycle heavy & steep I would choose something else.

Nice, gradual climb. A few peaks to 10％, but it doesn't really hurt. Good road surface. Above all, enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery!
