Nice climb, very consistent gradients and a lot of shade. Road surface is mostly concrete, which gives quite shaky ride. Beautiful scenery at the top with some farmhouse where you can refill your water bottle and take some milka cows pictures.... read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Vorder Höhi is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!

Vorder Höhi is a first-category climb: long and tough. Do not underestimate this climb. Many famous Tour de France cols fall into this category. Prepare for a long, challenging ride.
