Passo dell'Albula - La Punt

Starting at the railway in La Punt this climb is especially hard in the first kms. The hairpins wind you up high towards the valley with a very steep gradient. Once youve reached the valley it gets a little easier. Sometims the wind blows very hard from the top, so beware. The descent of this side, especially the lower half can be dangerous with bad surface, and little stones in the turns. This pass has very little traffic, as most cars take the julier pass.

The Passo dell'Albula is situated in Graubunden and belongs to the Alps . Starting from La Punt, the Passo dell'Albula ascent is 9.5 km long. Over this distance, you climb 629 heightmeters. The average percentage thus is 6.6 %.
