A long-term cycling project to document, ride, and organize bicycle ascents across Switzerland.
I started this project in May 2020. The goal is not only to collect famous climbs, but also smaller and less-known ascents that are useful for planning rides, understanding regions, and exploring Switzerland by bike.
The initial ascent list was built with extensive help from cols-cyclisme.com, whose work has been extremely useful.
