Terrain & grades
53% at ≤15% gradeThis point-to-point packs 72m of climb per kilometre, which makes it a hilly endurance profile. 53% of the measured line is at 15% grade or less (slope only, not surface or technicality). The hardest kilometre is around km 2, gaining about 311m. Total route distance is 64.9 km.
Snow & conditions
Snow not assessedCurrent snow evidence is not available for this route. Missing data does not establish snow-free conditions. This route reaches 2269m, where seasonal snow may linger.
Route sections
Epic effort, estimated around 22h 47m moving time using a hike model: 12:00 min/km flat pace plus about 8h 13m for 4691m of climbing. Expect 30% steep-grade exposure. Pace and fueling should be closer to mountain running than flat-road distance math.
Fuel & gear
Plan roughly 123 small fuel units, then adjust for weather, aid, and personal effort.
Surface
Surface classes from OpenStreetMap, matched to the line. Ways without a surface tag are classed by their road type, so this is an estimate.
Path difficulty, as tagged in OpenStreetMap
- T1 hiking: 32.5 km
No difficulty tag on 1.5 km of path or track: unknown, not easy.
The SAC hiking scale mappers give each path. It is not a check of exposure, the weather or snow on the day.
On roads with traffic: 465 m in 1 stretch. Roads of class tertiary or bigger in OpenStreetMap; crossings and stretches under 100 m are not counted.
