A quiet bike path (stay left!) which avoids the main road going into the larger tunnel just to the right/north. The old road tunnel here is a strangely quiet section of calm on this climb and a respite in bad weather.

Alternative to leave the main road and its incessant traffic!

Freed by the construction of the new tunnel (which is closed to bicycles), the old tunnel is now the undisputed realm of pedestrians and bicycles. The atmosphere inside is lovely, and the views of the valley are stunning when you exit.
