Cycling Tannenboden (Flumserberg Ski Resort) BIG 571
Ride 17.2 kilometers gaining 990 meters at 5.7% average grade.
Summary from Helmuth Dekkers (NL)
The ascent starts in Flums and leads you to Flumserberg the largest wintersport area between Chur and Zurich. In summer it is also the start point for hikes on the Flumserberg as some cable cars and chair lifts start there to take you higher up.
So on your way up there is probably some traffic to take into account. The road goes up with a number of hairpin turns with quite long straights (1-2km) in between them and offers a nice view on the serrated mountain ridge of the Churfirsten mountains on the north of the Walensee lake.
