Klausen freipass

Not a sportive, but traffic free mountain passes are worth more than a lot of the entry fees you pay for some events these days.
Starting from Schwyz, we first made the Pragel pass and soon realised that the added reason to have the freipass this weekend was so that the farmers could bring their cows and sheep down from higher ground.
This felt a real privilege to be on these high passes, perfect weather and shared only with other cyclists.
It would be worthwhile to start in Fluella, ride the Klausen over to the Klausen ranch for lunch, or even further down the east side, then head back again to make the most of the motor free day. Pragel is always worth it, a stunning ride, but on a day like this it would be worth avoiding the Glarus section and just keep it motor free all day.
