라비자라 최고의 라이딩 경로

At 2,478 meters above sea level, the Nufenen Pass (Nufenenpass in German) connects the Goms Valley in the upper Valais with the Bedretto Valley in the upper Ticino. From Airolo, the climb is approximately 22 kilometers (average gradient 5.6%), while from Ulrichen it is shorter but more challenging: 14 kilometers at an average gradient of approximately 7.9%.

very beautiful in all seasons

This is such a nice spot to rest, take a swim and ideal for camping but alas.... there is a 'no camping' sign. For camping, one can go right to the other end of the road.

As others have already said: It's tough, steep, and beautiful here! It's best to split the climb into shorter stages, so the 2,000 meters of elevation gain over 30 kilometers from Bignasco aren't quite as terrifyingly daunting. From Bignasco to Prato Sornico, it's rarely very steep. There are a few flat sections where you can pick up a decent pace. After Mogno (visit the church in Botta) and up to Fusio, things really get going for the first time. Many hairpin bends soften the incredibly nasty ramps, but your legs will still be tested here! Up to the Sambucco reservoir, it becomes truly idyllic, green, and quiet. There are a few tough climbs, but even here, the difficulty is still manageable. There's a fountain at the summer restaurant: fill up your bidons again, because there are only streams and gullies here. After the relaxing flat section by the lake, the final and most strenuous part of the climb follows. The scenery is stunning, but it's steep all the way to the top! Wow!

You've conquered the Nufenen Pass (Passo della Novena) by the road sign at an altitude of 2,477 meters. The pass also marks the cantonal border between Valais and Ticino. The pass is one of the youngest mountain passes in Switzerland, having only been built in 1964 and opened five years later. As the highest pass located entirely within Switzerland, it offers a special attraction for road cyclists. However, the approach from both sides is challenging, steep and often windy. Both routes involve over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. Since it's located far from any major towns, chances are your legs will already be a bit tired by the time the climbs begin.

Plenty of space to park. From here you can also start tours towards Airolo or Ulrichen and then take the post bus back.

If you are waiting for the post bus (Airolo-Ulrichen-Oberwald route): It comes every two hours at most.
