The northern ascent is easy and steady. The gradient remains in the single digits throughout. Ten hairpin bends lead to the Gailberg Saddle. 350 meters of elevation gain are achieved over almost seven kilometers. The pass is quite busy. However, the well-maintained road has plenty of room for both racing bikes and cars.
