About Grosse Scheidegg
The Grosse Scheidegg (1962 m) is closed to cars and therefore a dream for cyclists. From Grindelwald it climbs steeply below the north face of the Wetterhorn.
In rampida you ride the route exactly as it lies on the road: the gradient reaches your trainer metre by metre, the scenery is built from real elevation data and OpenStreetMap. A pacer group can pull you along, and next time you race your own ghost.
