The climbs start right outside the front door. This isn't a long hike. To get to the Dietersbachalpe, you first have to climb to the Gerstuben. A small paved road is only 1.75 km long, but climbs 240 meters. That's an average gradient of 13.8%. Just barely made it 🥵😀

The walk up is strenuous 🥵 but beautiful. …
