Julierpass

The Julierpass rises 6.8km through mountain forest into exposed high country, gaining 452m to 2,285m. The average gradient of 6.6% disguises ramps of 13.6% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 3 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. At 2,285m, the summit rises above the treeline into an exposed, often windswept landscape. Located in Grisons, Switzerland.
