It is better to tackle this tour via the Mendel Pass. There is less traffic on this side than on the Gampen Pass.

Descent from Mendel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Motorcycle traffic is hell here.
We drive this pass, if ever again, ONLY in the morning at 6 or 7 a.m.
Everything else is madness.
It's a shame about the beautiful pass

The word serpentine is taken by its name: the asphalt strip meanders leisurely up to the Mendola. There are always fantastic views.

The break from the long drive was a great time to have a coffee on the Mendel Pass.
What can I say ... Mendel and I will no longer be real friends in this life. I keep going up because he's standing there. Long (boring), constant incline, you just patter to yourself without any highlights. Only towards the end there …
