Mittleberg | Cycling in Switzerland

Mittleberg 1,640m

The Mittleberg is as close as it gets to the perfect cycling climb. Starting off with a mellow approach that quickly turns into steeper switchbacks, the Mittleberg is a climb that rewards every pedal stroke with amazing views across the Swiss Alps.

On Brevet Gruyère Cycling Tour holiday you’ll be riding the Mittleberg with closed roads and fellow cyclists for company.

In the Gruyère Cycling Tour you will climb the Mittleberg from the Juan side climbing 614m over 10.7km at an average gradient of 6%.

As you can see from the profile above this is a climb of two halves; at first you barrel out of Juan on quiet tree lined roads offering welcome shade. As the gradient steepens and you rise above the tree line, alpine meadows stretch out in front of you and you quickly gain height through a number of beautiful hairpin turns.

What is it like to climb the Mittleberg?

This is a classic Swiss climb – if it were in the French Alps you’d know all about it, it would feature regularly in the Tour de France. But here in secret Switzerland you get to climb it in solitude on traffic free roads where all you can hear are the cow bells and your own laboured breathing.
