Difficulty breakdown: Bergseweg is a short but tough climb: 2.4 km at an average gradient of 3.1%, rated Cat 4. The main crux is between km 0.5 and km 1.0, where the gradient hits 7%, the steepest part of the climb. The rest of the ascent, from km 1.0 to km 2.4, sits at a manageable 2%, which lets you keep a strong tempo without blowing up. The real challenge is getting through that central section well.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace your start. Use the first 500 metres at 4% to settle into a steady rhythm, and don't go too hard before the 7% section.
2. Prepare for the stretch from km 0.5 to km 1.0. Select a suitable gear in advance, stay seated if you can, and keep a smooth, consistent cadence to get over the ramp.
3. Make the most of the easier section. Between km 1.0 and km 2.4, the 2% gradient lets you recover a little and hold a steady effort all the way to the top.
