Terrain & grades
79% at ≤15% gradeThis point-to-point packs 50m of climb per kilometre, which makes it a hilly endurance profile. 79% of the measured line is at 15% grade or less (slope only, not surface or technicality). The hardest kilometre is around km 7, gaining about 227m. Total route distance is 53.0 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 2593m, where seasonal snow may linger.
Route sections
Epic effort, estimated around 15h 37m moving time using a hike model: 12:00 min/km flat pace plus about 4h 29m for 2645m of climbing. Expect 8% steep-grade exposure.
Fuel & gear
Plan roughly 84 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: 3.7 km
No difficulty tag on 34.1 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: 758 m in 3 stretches (the longest 279 m). Roads of class tertiary or bigger in OpenStreetMap; crossings and stretches under 100 m are not counted.
