Very nice, but also strenuous tour over 3 Swiss Alpine passes. If you like driving passes, you must have done it

Slept badly, chaotic train journey (instead of 3:48 and one change, 4:48 and 3 changes), but from Göschenen onwards everything was great!

Basically a tradition for me. But be sure to ride it once yourself as well. If you need company, gimme a shout.

Wonderful weather, great ambiance as thousands took part cycling the passes from Andermatt

August 2, 2021,Furka - Nufenen - Gotthard from Hospental

With three legendary passes that regularly feature on the Tour de Suisse programme, the Furka-Nufenen-Gotthard loop is an Alpine classic for cycling enthusiasts. It is only 100 kilometres long, but it should not be underestimated: with almost 40 kilometres of ascent, climbing is a big chunk of the ride.

The incline is challenging, but manageable. Shot down ... wind, brakes, downhill slope ... great surface to the Grimsel, and then to the Nufenen entrance after the …

I also rode this ride with 3 alpine climbs together with my bike buddy Rob de Jonge, but in reverse. It was beastly tough but gave an euphoric feeling when the ride was over. A great pity that Rob passed away in 2022.
