How we measured
Summit: OpenStreetMap node 80118203 (mountain_pass, ele). Climb: car routing (OSRM on OpenStreetMap) from the village centre to the summit. Profile: Open-Meteo elevation (Copernicus DEM, ~90 m) every 50 m, smoothed over 250 m. Hairpin: the road turns back more than 150° within 300 m. Height gain: summit minus the start of the climb. Every number can be recomputed at any time. (2026-10-18)
