Beautiful, long ascent with fantastic views of Loser and Dachstein - and the best thing is that the Loser toll road is closed to cars in summer! - wonderfully quiet to ride!

The route (upper section of the gorge) was closed from approximately 2021 to 2023 due to high risk of rockfall – reopened in 2024 (information from the Ischl Tourist Information Center). The downhill path requires caution, as there are large, loose stones and rough, hard ground. A fall into the ditch can have serious consequences. 😎 Between Ischl and the Rettenbachalm, it's a simple, hard-packed gravel road.
