Rising to 2 312 m, Albulapass is a Category 1 cycling climb. From Surava, the toughest side climbs 28.4 km at 4.9% average — 1 404 m of ascent, pitching to 19.8% at its steepest. The steepest kilometre averages 15.4%, around km 12.8. It can also be climbed from La Punt Chamues-ch (9.2 km at 6.8%): 2 measured approaches in all, each profiled kilometre-by-kilometre against Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data. On the Fiets scale it rates 8.3, among the region's hardest. Above the treeline the summit holds snow well into spring, so the dependable riding window runs roughly June to October.
