Außersalvenberg

4351.5 m · net rise 532.4 m · total ascent 533.3 m · overall 12.2% · evidence quality B (good) · Hopfgarten im Brixental · Tirol ·

Shape: sustained — 28% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 504 m.

Found purely from mapping and LiDAR data, and not yet matched against books, race records or lists — it may be well known to locals under a name we've never heard. It was cross-checked against the GIP.at road network, OpenStreetMap and a second terrain model, but a discovery can still be an artifact of the terrain model or the map. Treat it as a well-evidenced hypothesis until someone has ridden it. If you know this road, tell us what you found — photographs, corrections and local knowledge all welcome; the map links below let you scout it first.

≈ Overhead cover (tree canopy or structures) spans 21% of this route — detected by comparing the surface model (DSM, treetops and rooftops) against the terrain model (DTM, bare ground). Under cover the bare-ground model is built from fewer laser returns, so metre-scale readings can wobble; maxima whose window sits in a covered zone are marked ≈ below — less certain — the flag does not say whether the true value is higher or lower. Longer windows average over more clean ground and are steadier.

This climb's data: OCL JSON — the full gradient ladder, quality flags and provenance in the OpenClimb Ladder format.

Surface: paved (0% unpaved), according to GIP.at, Austria's official transport graph: paved for the first 190 m; surface unrecorded from 190 m to 349 m; paved from 349 m to 398 m; surface unrecorded from 398 m to 731 m; paved from 731 m to 1,707 m; surface unrecorded from 1,707 m to 2,013 m; paved from 2,013 m to 2,121 m; surface unrecorded from 2,121 m to 2,794 m; paved from 2,794 m to 3,708 m; surface unrecorded from 3,708 m to 3,768 m; paved from 3,768 m to 3,828 m; surface unrecorded from 3,828 m to 4,296 m.

Access: Listed 2026-09-11 (Austria run 1): road audit — way 30077997: service way, surface untagged. Never silently ranked or dropped (Peter, 2026-08-27).

Measured, not vetted. This page records what the laser record shows about the road's shape — nothing more. Nobody has necessarily ridden or inspected this road for the survey, and a page here is not a recommendation and no guarantee that the road is open, surfaced, rideable or safe. Gates, private sections, missing rights of way and hazards do not show up in elevation data. Check access and conditions on the ground and make your own judgment.

Profile

The map, profile and gradient chart share one position — move your pointer over them and the marker follows. Colors are the gradient bands; the shaded span is the steepest 25 m. Any 25 m figure is good to about a point either way (why).
