Terrain & grades
93% at ≤15% gradeThis loop packs 25m of climb per kilometre, which makes it a relatively flowing profile. 93% of the measured line is at 15% grade or less (slope only, not surface or technicality). The hardest kilometre is around km 6, gaining about 76m. Total route distance is 9.3 km.
Snow & conditions
Snow not assessedCurrent snow evidence is not available for this route. Missing data does not establish snow-free conditions.
Route sections
Moderate effort, about 2h 39m moving time as the Planner estimated it when the route was saved, for 229m of climbing. Expect 4% steep-grade exposure.
Fuel & gear
Plan roughly 13 small fuel units, then adjust for weather, aid, and personal effort.
Surface
Surface classes from OpenStreetMap, matched to the line (90% matched). Ways without a surface tag are classed by their road type, so this is an estimate.
Path difficulty, as tagged in OpenStreetMap
- T4 alpine hiking: 55 m
Hardest tagged grade: T4 alpine hiking, first from km 3.0 for 28 m, and in 1 more place.
No difficulty tag on 7.1 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: 1.7 km in 4 stretches (the longest 611 m). Roads of class tertiary or bigger in OpenStreetMap; crossings and stretches under 100 m are not counted.
