A climb that starts with a steep slope, before reaching an easier section and then getting steeper again. It was actually shorter than it looks, although it was very hot on the way up and I saw people walking. The road surface is good and at the top you are rewarded with views of the Säntis and a nice descent to the other side.... read more

Subida que empieza con una fuerte pendiente, para llegar a un tramo más sencillo y volver a empinarse después. La verdad es que se me hizo más corta de lo que parece, aunque pasé mucho calor en la subida y vi a gente andando.
El firme es bueno y arriba te ves recompensado con las vistas al Säntis y una buena bajada hacia el otro lado.
