A true gem of Swiss saddle riding. The gradient of the two-lane road reaches around 7–10 percent for the first kilometer, with a maximum of 12 percent. After that, five switchbacks wind their way up the slope, providing a truly exhilarating experience. On a longer section, the road, spectacularly carved into the rock, then crosses the slope and offers a view that's worth the effort. Shortly after, the gradient eases somewhat, and Törbel (approx. 1,480 m) is reached. The route continues through a sparsely cultivated alpine landscape to Törbel, with sweeping switchbacks.

The description "Alpe d'Huez" of Switzerland is correct because the route profile is very similar. It is not so hot early in the morning and you ride like in a picture book. The views all around are great.
Next year the "Bärgüf" (Together against cancer) will take place on this route again. A great event with 800 participants. Those who like special experiences can start at 5 a.m. with most of the other participants.
