Sonnhofweg
806.1 m · net rise 89.4 m · total ascent 90.4 m · overall 11.1% · evidence quality A (high) · Untertauern · Salzburg · share
Shape: sustained — 43% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 235 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.
Gradient ladder what do windows mean?
| Window | Maximum | Located at | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 m (diagnostic) | ≈25% | 90–92 m | under overhead cover |
| 3 m (diagnostic) | 25% | 89–92 m | |
| 5 m | 24% | 82–87 m | |
| 10 m | 24% | 82–92 m | |
| 20 m | 23.9% | 76–96 m | |
| 25 m | 23.6% | 71–96 m | |
| 50 m | 22.7% | 53–103 m | |
| 100 m | 21.5% | 48–148 m |
≈ appears only on the 2–3 m diagnostic rows here, which does not lower the evidence quality: those windows are never headline values or ranking keys, so the letter reflects the standard (5–100 m) windows — which are clean on this climb.

This climb's data: OCL JSON — the full gradient ladder, quality flags and provenance in the OpenClimb Ladder format.
Surface: GIP.at, Austria's official transport graph records no surface for this road; the map may tell you more.
Access: Held 2026-09-12 (driveway-at-window, Austria corpus sweep, box 8): the steepest 25 m (23.6 %, at 71 m) meets OSM service way 761528851, 8.6 m from the window, and the window sits 20.0 m off the inventory line — the maximum may be the driveway, not the road. Out of the rankings until a person rules. Also trimmed 2026-09-15 at the tail dog-leg (a driveway, Peter's ruling); steepest 25 m now 23.6 %.
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).
