Re: Ibergeregg-Raten Pass road biking

Raten and Ibergeregg Satelegg and a few other passes will remain open all winter. Perfect for getting some winter km's in!
Hmmm...always something new to learn.

Actually today while riding I was going over in my mind, what's a saddle point, how it is both the lowest point, and the highest point, depending on how you look. Well, as an avid hiker and mountain-lover, for me the real thrill is always to reach the summit, however big or small it is, which is something I miss when I cycle over Passes.

Strange, as if people can read my mind, a close friend of mine told me later in the evening that he too had been to Ibergeregg yesterday, but to hike up to the summit of that tall craggy rocky mountain that you see just before the Pass (from the Schwyz side)...seems it is an excellent hiking trail right to the top. So next time I will take his advise, park my bike at the Pass and hike up to the summit. Additional advantage of bringing back circulation to my posterior
