If you don't mind taking the same route down as up, we recommend a detour up to Juf in the Avers Valley. The scenery in this quiet side valley is beautiful, and the gradient is also moderate. This makes the drive to the dead end truly enjoyable.
Juf lies at an altitude of 2,125 meters and, according to various sources, is not only the highest year-round inhabited settlement in Switzerland, but even in Europe!

Very few motorcyclists are out and about here and overall traffic is very limited. This allows you to enjoy the bike ride through the beautiful valley more than many a tour over a prominent Alpine pass. In addition, in Auf, the highest permanently inhabited village in Europe, there are several opportunities to stop for refreshments. I was at the Gasthaus Edelweiß and can recommend it.
And important for cyclists on hot days: there is no shortage of fountains with wonderfully cool mountain spring water lining the route,
