The view is amazing! The descent is short but beautiful and easy to ride. The climb up from Malters is also quite nice, but there is always a lot of traffic. So my recommendation: plan the route so that you can use this route as a descent.

Excellent asphalt road (09/2025), nice gradient, great curves - a real pleasure to ride down here.
