The Pragel Pass is the small, hidden alternative to the Klausen Pass or a nice addition: Together with the Klausen Pass, it makes for a beautiful, but of course intense road bike tour with two challenging passes. The Pragel Pass takes you up to 1,550 meters. With its incredible view of the Muota Valley, it will definitely inspire you.

On weekends, the pass is closed to motorized traffic and is only available to cyclists.

Pragel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

If you start at Richisau like we did and come out at the top of the Pragelpass after climbing the Silberen, you can simply walk back down the Pragelpass. Is still quite relaxed after a long hike - you don't have to concentrate so much on the path.

Flat summit with a very nice view. The ascent is varied and worth every drop of sweat.

July 3, 2023,Karstspur Silberen 832 🤩❤️

Yes, it was a very nice hike in the karst mountains and all with barefoot shoes 😊.
Very special rocks with the huge cracks. You have to be careful not to step in them 🙈.
