Difficulty analysis: At 3.1 km with 106 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.4%, the Eyserbosweg is an accessible climb, rated Cat 4. The real crux sits between km 0.5 and km 1.0, where the gradient hits 7%, right after a fairly stiff opening at 4% over the first half-kilometer. The rest of the route alternates between rolling sections, notably between km 1.5 and km 3.0, where the gradient drops to between 1% and 3%. Overall, it's more of a pacing test than a proper mountain pass.
How to ride it:
1. Pace the opening. Ease into the section from km 0.0-0.5 at 4%, so you arrive at the 7% ramp between km 0.5 and 1.0 with something left in the tank.
2. Recover after the crux. Between km 1.0 and km 1.5, at 5%, keep a smooth cadence and a sensible gear rather than going into the red.
3. Finish strong on the rolling section. On the km 2.5-3.0 stretch at 1%, use the easier gradient to put the power down and reel in a few riders before the finish.
