After a seemingly endless climb with an average gradient of 15%, you have reached the stamping point on the Breithorn at 2451m altitude. Don't be surprised, there is no large overview board like at the other stations.

On the infamous climb from Grengiols to the Breithorn, there was a lot of traffic in the glorious weather. Several bikers battled their way up. A good half of them without e-assistance.

The trail over the Saflisch Pass is in top condition, making the descent a delight.
