The climb starts with a succession of not too steep hairpins, but there's quite a few of them to get to Bratsch, where the climb becomes a little more pleasant thanks to the view over the Rhone valley. After passing through 2 more villages, you reach Jeizinen and the climb begins in a different atmosphere. In some sections the tarmac is good, in others it's really bad. Once you reach Untere Feselalpe, the final ramps will knock you off your feet! The gradients are impressive and after ... read more

The climb starts with a succession of not too steep hairpins, but there's quite a few of them to get to Bratsch, where the climb becomes a little more pleasant thanks to the view over the Rhone valley. After passing through 2 more villages, you reach Jeizinen and the climb begins in a different atmosphere. In some sections the tarmac is good, in others it's really bad. Once you reach Untere Feselalpe, the final ramps will knock you off your feet! The gradients are impressive and after this long climb it really does seem endless. The aim of the outing shouldn't be to go for a stroll, it's a really demanding outing, a real challenge, if not an ordeal!

Le début de la montée se fait par une succession d'épingle pas trop raide mais y'en a une sacrée série pour aller jusqu'à Bratsch ou la montée devient un peu plus agréable grâce a la vue qui s'ouvre sur la vallée du Rhône. Apres avoir traverse 2 autres villages vous arrivez a Jeizinen et commence une montée dans une autre ambiance. Certaine section le goudron est a d'autre c'est franchement mauvais. Arrivé a Untere Feselalpe, les dernières rampes finiront de vous mettre a terre! Les pourcentages sont impressionnants et après cette longue montée sa paraît vraiment interminable. Le but de la sortie ne doit pas être une balade, c'est vraiment une sortie qui demande beaucoup, un vrai défi, voir un supplice!
