Plan around: Dead end at the Sanetsch dam (cable car to Gsteig carries people and bikes only). Closed in winter from Dilogne. Car-free event 'Ride the Alps Sanetsch' (2026: TCS says 'Sunday 26 June', but that date is a Friday, so UNCONFIRMED; 09:00–15:00).

Why it is a next step

Rated moderate only because no reliable maximum gradient exists. In practice it is a serious road: about 1,700 m of climbing, single lane for the last ~10 km, and an ~800 m rock tunnel near the top that riders describe as dimly lit. Traffic is light because it is a dead end, and there is no way through to Gsteig.
