Okolo nádrže přečerpávací elektrárny se dělá nový asfalt (7/2026). Kyvadlová doprava, vyfrézované úseky. Poslední část téměř bez provozu, ale i zbytek není nijak dramatický. Rozhodně méně aut než třeba v Dolomitech.

From stein a nice climb. The last 3 km are very tough. First part not so bad. Only a south wind made the valley hard. View from the top very nice (if you do not have fog)
