Tips

November 10, 2024

Road cycling

The road from Sarnen to Glaubenberg is an excellent asphalt, however be ready to encounter some steep climbs, often between 10-12%, there are several stretches where one can relax the leg muscles slightly. Don’t forget to stop once in a while and look back, as riding up, one might miss the spectacular views. Caution, on the weekends there is so much traffic on this road that it kind of makes things difficult with automobile drivers taking some risks when passing with no visibility.

Road cycling

A magnificent climb to the Glaubenberg Pass, the road is excellent asphalted surface but do not approach from the Eastern side on the weekends. This side of the pass has very heavy weekend traffic that has one constantly looking back. The road is narrow which also contributes to the cars coming close, as they have no other option. Only do this during the week

Road cycling

The eastern approach to Glaubenberg is much more developed than the northwest approach from Entlebuch. From Sarnen via Stalden, the road is a good two-lane and wide, with a mostly moderate gradient.
