Before you go

  • I

    High mountain pass: closed for much of the year. Opening depends on snow, so check road conditions before setting off.

  • II

    Those 1,604 m must be descended too: lower gear and engine braking on long descents.

  • III

    Around 12 hairpins: slow down and never cut the corner.

  • IV

    A road shared with cyclists, hikers and farm vehicles. Club meeting points are never published. Read the circle’s rules ↗
