リンスドルフの峠・トップ6

On many cloudy days in Basel due to high fog, the sun shines there.

Great view of the Laufental

The Blauepass is a stunning pass that offers breathtaking views of the Bernese Alps, where peaks and unspoiled nature stretch as far as the eye can see. The area also has historical significance, as the Blauepass was once an important route for trade and travel across the Alps. On a clear day, you can even see Lake Thun in the distance.

pedestrian pass between Hofstettenspitz and Blauenberg

The Blochmont is the perfect Sunday ride pass for a tour through Alsace. Approaching from the north, you'll almost feel like you're in the Tour de France, as the gentle gradient means you can climb really fast. Enjoyable ascents alternate between forest and sunny sections. Reaching the farm at the top means you've completed the climb, though it's certainly not a job; this climb is pure enjoyment.

As soon as you see the farm, the ascent is behind you, because coming from either side, the farm is on a relatively flat section at the pass. You hardly notice the pass itself, at some point it just goes down again and you realize that you're already over it...

Depending on which direction you are coming from, you will experience a gentle 3% grade downhill or uphill. It's a fairly pleasant climb to do because the slope is relatively easy. In the other direction, it is a beautiful descent that can be traversed quickly.

The Challpass is an unspectacular curve with a parking lot or postbus turning point on a busy main road. Nevertheless far and wide one of the few possibilities to cross the blue chain in north-south direction or vice versa.
