Vorderhöhi-Gulmen

A short, very steep climb above Amden in St. Gallen. The hardest 500 metres average 24.2% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 16 to 27 minutes. At 5.5 TEP it sits around the middle of the catalogue. East-facing, so it takes the morning sun and is in shade by the afternoon.
