CyclingUp: Switzerland


Obvously, the ascents of this website are but a sample of all ascents that Switzerland offers to road bikers. Two regions with a high density of interesting climbs are Central Switzerland, which includes the Susten, Furka, Nufenen, St. Gotthard and the Grimsel Pass, and the Canton of Graubünden with e.g. Albula, Bernina, Flüela and Maloja Pass. Most climbs of this website are situated in these two regions. However, currently (2022) the hardest one, Fideriser Heuberge, is located in the Prättigau. Common features of the roads to the Swiss passes are their generally very good state and a small amount of variation in their slope. Many roads are wide and rather busy.
