A beautiful route is often a round trip. Many cyclists are focused on the possibilities of cycling around. However, many forget that when climbing a hill, the descent and ascent are fundamentally different, even though you are riding on the same road! We were inspired by an article by Patrick Seabase about Switzerland and its \u2018dead-end-climbs\u2019. According to the extreme cyclist, it is a hidden beauty. Not for nothing is there an event in Switzerland that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deadendsandcake.ch\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018dead-ends and cake\u2019<\/a> Hot. What\u2019s not to love? At Cyclingdestination we can certainly get into that. See here the top 5x beautiful dead-end climbs <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myswitzerland.com\">Switzerland<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2839\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/taine-noble-UkyvwFVwqNU-unsplash-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Noble Taine\" class=\"wp-image-2839\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mauvoisin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just past Verbier in the canton of Wallis-<a href=\"\/en\/stories\/cycling-to-barrage-demosson\/\">Valais<\/a> you find a hidden beauty: the climb to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valais.ch\/en\/activities\/road-cycling\/routes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mauvoisin<\/a> dam. This brings you up about 1100 meters higher than at the beginning in 15 kilometers. The start is at the bridge over the Dranse river. You start off quite slowly but at Le Fregnoley the percentages start to come in. It goes up and down towards the Fionnay reservoir and the hamlet of Bonatchiesse. What makes this route beautiful is the various tunnels and galleries you drive through, as well as the wooden bridges. Towards the top it gets a bit rougher in terms of vegetation and the paths also become narrower as you drive further up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along the way you have a magnificent view of Mont Rogneux, the Rosablanche and the Grand Combin (4314 meters high!). Once at the dam, the view over the lake is a real treat! The finish is finally at the restaurant at 1841 meters altitude. Nothing wrong with that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2838\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041998_bagnes_241262-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Switzerland.

This dead-end road from Innertkirchen is not an easy ride, by the way. The 14-kilometer route consists of two steep climbs. The first part to Wagenkehr is not under 10% kilometers long. Then it flattens out for two and a half kilometers and then it speeds up again! The last five kilometers are also steep with an average of 10.2% and over a kilometer above 11%! But we wouldn\u2019t recommend it if there weren\u2019t any beautiful views. In the Gental, one of the most remote but also most beautiful valleys in central Switzerland, your effort is rewarded! The final stretch up is a stunning natural landscape where soft moss is replaced by dry grass and the beautiful trees slowly turn into rugged pines. Happy days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2845\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/dorothea-oldani-a3BZ9MmhosA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dorothea&#039;s dream\" class=\"wp-image-2845\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"2846\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041982_innertkirchen_241266.jpeg\" alt=\"Engstlenalp\" class=\"wp-image-2846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041982_innertkirchen_241266.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041982_innertkirchen_241266-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041982_innertkirchen_241266-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Engstlenalp (c) SwitzerlandTourism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"2847\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041984_innertkirchen_241266.jpeg\" alt=\"Engstlenalp\" class=\"wp-image-2847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041984_innertkirchen_241266.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041984_innertkirchen_241266-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041984_innertkirchen_241266-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta>Engstlenalp (c) Switzerland Tourism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Male<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Grindelwald, you can drive to the top of M\u00e4nnlichen via a narrow and painful climb. It\u2019s quickly obvious that this is a masculine climb. Steep, to great heights, but with stunning views of the Eiger, the M\u00f6nch and the Jungfrau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"2853\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1024x681.jpeg\" alt=\"5x beautiful dead-end climbs in Switzerland, photo 3\" class=\"wp-image-2853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1024x681.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1536x1022.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812.jpeg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ascent of this route is truly one of the most spectacular routes in all of Switzerland. Usually, all sorts of paragliders fly over the valley and you can indeed see the Eiger. The first part of the climb probably won\u2019t hurt too much and be sure not to fall asleep, because you\u2019ll definitely need the right climbing legs afterwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After W\u00e4rgischtalbach, things are moving along at a rapid pace. But rest assured, if you have to take a quick detour (which we do too), you don\u2019t have to worry that you\u2019ll be run over by a motorized vehicle. The uphill route is well-protected and closed to motorized traffic. But it\u2019s narrow and it\u2019s really painful. For kilometers and kilometers above 10-11%, a maximum of 12.9% and 10 kilometers long climb. But hey, that view is something to frame or send as a postcard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"2854\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1-1024x681.jpeg\" alt=\"5x beautiful dead-end climbing routes in Switzerland, photo 4\" class=\"wp-image-2854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1-1024x681.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1-1536x1022.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/NY_SH4403_MAENNLICHEN_D104812-1.jpeg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"2855\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/st0041993_grindelwald_241265.jpeg\" alt=\"Switzerland.

It is considered by many in Switzerland to be the best-kept secret. From Sion in the Valais region, you first climb up through the vineyards. Then it gets steep and the air gets filled with dust, with percentages that often exceed 10%. The total climb is 29 kilometers long, but from kilometer 18 below the summit it is all about climbing. Once you are above the summit, it can get a bit spooky, but that\u2019s not a problem. If you drive a little further, you pass a small lake and there is another hidden gem: the auberge du Barrage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why would you go there in the first place? The bonus is the cable car that takes you from the top to Gsteig. Attach your bike to the gondola and enjoy the amazing view. Then you can drive right into Gstaad, where you can marvel at all the splendor. Technically speaking, it\u2019s not really a dead end anymore, but we think it should be there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"2858\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/untitled-shoot-07295-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled shoot\" class=\"wp-image-2858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/untitled-shoot-07295-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/untitled-shoot-07295-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/untitled-shoot-07295-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/untitled-shoot-07295-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(c) Aswisswithapulse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2859\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_5227-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"5x beautiful dead-end climbing routes in Switzerland, photo 5\" class=\"wp-image-2859\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"2860\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2008_Media_Trip_VSVD-07194-1-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Media Trip VSVD\" class=\"wp-image-2860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2008_Media_Trip_VSVD-07194-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2008_Media_Trip_VSVD-07194-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2008_Media_Trip_VSVD-07194-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2008_Media_Trip_VSVD-07194-1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta>(c) Aswisswithapulse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the canton of Graub\u00fcnden you will find several beautiful routes to ride. One of the routes is the Spl\u00fcgen Pass, but just a little further on you will find the steep climb to Juf. This is the highest village in Switzerland and that alone makes it an interesting route. You won\u2019t be completely exhausted after the nearly 30-kilometer-long route. Certainly not compared to other routes. The climbing rates are much friendlier and you don\u2019t end up as high as, for example, the Sanetsch or M\u00e4nnlichen. But because of the view, the surroundings and the fact that you end up in the highest village in Europe, it makes for a special climb. Before you set off, it\u2019s wise to always check the weather, because once you\u2019re on the way to Juf, there\u2019s no turning back. Wind and rain are your biggest enemies in this long valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something else you should keep in mind: up to Andeer you do experience some traffic. After that, it seems as if you have the road all to yourself. So don't be put off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2863\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_3259-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"5x beautiful dead-end climbs in Switzerland, photo 6\" class=\"wp-image-2863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_3259-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_3259-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_3259-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_3259-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_3259.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Juf (c) NewlySwissed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voor een mooie fietsvakantie kijk je altijd naar mooie routes.
