The first climb follows through the Meien Valley up to the Susten Pass. The view of the Steingletscher makes every turn worthwhile. At the top, a scenic descent awaits to Innertkirchen. After a short flat section, the second climb begins: Curve by curve it goes through forested terrain up to the Grimsel Pass.
