Puerto precioso en la parte superior, la parte inicial muy agobiante por la gran cantidad de túneles.

Sorry, es lebe die Meinungsvielfalt: 

wenn wir Tunnel so negativ sehen würden müssten viele BIGS gestrichen werden, zum Beispiel Mangartske Sedlo und viele andere ... 

Ich bin es Ende September gefahren, es war weniger los, außerdem sind die Tunnel typisch Schweiz perfekt ausgebaut, ich sehe da überhaupt kein Problem, außer das es recht lange Tunnel sind. Und das obere Tal ist sehr schön, definitiv ein lohnender BIG.

Das sah ja auch die Mehrheit so bei der letzten Abstimmung als die Fafleralp als BIG bestätigt wurde 😉👍

We did this climb on 3th of september 2021.
There are six tunnels in the road which knows very heavy traffic because of the car-train in Gampel-Steg. Last year I suggested to replace this climb with another climb: in this region it is not difficult. It was depressing that no decision is taken. My suggestion is to replace Fafleralp by the climb to Zermatt: at the top you have a breathtaking view on the Matterhorn. But also Riederalp could be an alternative.
We took the solution to do the tunnels by car and then cycle the beautiful last section.
My advice to future climbers who want to claim Fafleralp: avoid this dangerous tunnel-road and choose an alternativ climb.

The original "old" road which is shown on the map has been closed due to a destroyed bridge. It is very sad becasue it would be a very nice and quite climb. Therefore you need to take the main road which is having plenty of tunnels. Be prepared the longest is 2,5km long.
The total km at the end with this is around 23 instead the 18.
Otherwise the end is really breath taking when you reach the 12th km the road goes into a quite valley road.

Plusieurs tunnels dont le premier après 3 km d'ascension .
Il est long de 2.4 km et le trafic y est dense .
la seconde partie est plus bucolique malgré le crachin d'aujourd'hui .(06/07/2018)
