The Michaelskreuz is also known as the Alp d'Huez of central Switzerland so a must for every cyclist.

The top of the pass is very easy to reach by bike. It takes a bit of breath ... in the end, at the Michaelskreuz you are rewarded with a wonderful view

Popular pass at the Michaelkreuz. There are also lovely stopping points on the way up, with or without benches. Beautiful panorama during the ascent, and at the chapel you can enjoy a fantastic view of the surrounding landscape, lakes, mountains and Alps.
