The story
Between 1922 and 1934 the Klausen was raced ten times, from the village of Linthal in Glarus to the top of the pass at 1948 m. It was a monster of a course: 21.5 km on a narrow gravel road, 1237 m of climbing, 136 curves, 57 of them hairpins, and a flat-out dash across the Urnerboden high pasture on the way. Tens of thousands of spectators lined the road. After 1934 the competitive racing stopped, although historic-vehicle meetings re-enacted the climb between 1993 and 2013. A poster for anyone drawn to the pioneering days of mountain racing, when every ascent was an adventure.
