The ascent in the Saxet Valley starts in Wilderswil on a small and quiet road with well-maintained asphalt. At first, you meander through the forest, with occasional nice views over the Brienzersee. The gradients are considerable, making it difficult to keep a good pace. The village of Saxeten is very small and unfortunately no coffee option. From Saxeten you can continue climbing for another 3-4 km on an asphalt road. The gradients rise further to as much as 20％. The view of the waterfalls m... read more

The ascent in the Saxet Valley starts in Wilderswil on a small and quiet road with well-maintained asphalt. At first, you meander through the forest, with occasional nice views over the Brienzersee. The gradients are considerable, making it difficult to keep a good pace.
The village of Saxeten is very small and unfortunately no coffee option. From Saxeten you can continue climbing for another 3-4 km on an asphalt road. The gradients rise further to as much as 20％. The view of the waterfalls makes sitting definitely worth it. Along the way we encountered more cows than cars's.

De beklimming in het Saxetendal begint in Wilderswil op een kleine en rustige weg met goed onderhouden asfalt. In het begin slinger je door het bos, met af en toe mooie uitzichten over de Brienzersee. De stijgingspercentages zijn flink en het is dan ook lastig het tempo er goed in te houden.
Het dorpje Saxeten is zeer klein en helaas geen optie tot koffiedrinken. Vanaf Saxeten kun je nog zo'n 3 tot 4 km verder klimmen over een geasfalteerde weg. De stijgingspercentages lopen verder op tot zelfs 20％. Het uitzicht op de watervallen maakt zit zeker de moeite waard. Onderweg meer koeien dan auto's tegengekomen.
