A true gem of Swiss saddle riding. The gradient of the two-lane road reaches around 7–10 percent for the first kilometer, with a maximum of 12 percent. After that, five switchbacks wind their way up the slope, providing a truly exhilarating experience. On a longer section, the road, spectacularly carved into the rock, then crosses the slope and offers a view that's worth the effort. Shortly after, the gradient eases somewhat, and Törbel (approx. 1,480 m) is reached. The route continues through a sparsely cultivated alpine landscape to Törbel, with sweeping switchbacks.
