A beautiful climb from Grengiols to the Breithorn. A good, paved forest road. Also easily doable on gravel. A steady gradient, and in summer, plenty of shade in the forest.

I did the gravel descent from the Breithorn to Visp with 36 mm tires. It was a bit limited on the upper section; it wasn't very comfortable. From the middle of the descent, the road quality improves. It's still totally doable, but next time I'll go for 40 mm tires. We did the gravel climb from Binn via the Saftlital. Honestly magnificent, a bit steep, but nothing totally insurmountable! We stayed at the Auberge Heiligkreuz, which is highly recommended for a two-day tour to enjoy the region.

If you're heading up here, it's a good idea to refill your water supply in Grengiols. Currently, there's only one water point after that, up to the stamping point.
