Although set as a MTB highlight, I dare to doubt that it makes sense to drive this way with the MTB - even if it is an e-bike. For the most part, quite large stones are on the way and even as a hiker you have to choose your way carefully so as not to trip over this stone. In addition, the pass is steep in some places up to 15%. In spite of everything - the valley and the fells have a lot to offer.
