What a climb! The south ascent is very doable, nice gravel road, amazing views. The north side is a walking trail with stairs for quite a bit. Lots of technical hike a bike stuff especially with a loaded bike.,.. but very rewearing in the end.

At the pass, you can relax near several lakes, see the glacier a few hundred meters away, rest at the refuge and contemplate the panorama.
