E - Tourenbike: Disentis - Santa Maria Stausee - Disentis

From Disentis railway station we start on the cantonal road towards the Lukmanier Pass. Immediately at the turnoff to Mompé Medel, a long, cool tunnel awaits us, leading up to the village. Don't worry: there is hardly any traffic!  And the asphalt stays with us until almost Stagias.

To Cavorgia and and to Mises las Cavorgias, we let it roll until we reach the lowest point on the Rhine. There is hardly any need for strength. But then it's uphill again. We cross the main road and as soon as we reach the village of Mompé Tujetsch, we reach the highest point again. The word Mompé, by the way, comes from "pede monte", and means: situated at the foot of the mountain.

On the descent to Disentis, it's okay to look around while driving.

In Mutschnengia make a short detour to the extraordinary suspension bridge made of larch wood.

We start in Disentis and follow the pass road to the junction Mompé Medel. We drive to the end of the village, where at the kiosk La Scursalada the road continues to the left to Stagias. At the junction on the Stagias hill, we turn left into the valley. After Mutschnengia, at the last bend before the stream, we turn right. At Platta you go over a bridge to the left back to the pass route. Here we stay until Sogn Gions. After the last buildings, a nature trail turns right again, on which we stay until Alp Vatgira. From the cable car station, a road leads back up to the Lukmanier Pass road, on which we return to Disentis.
