Safienthaler Felsentunnel und Rheinschlucht

From Ilanz it is first leisurely on the little used main road in an easterly direction. Versam is the first intermediate destination, because from there it goes into the Safiental. Gently but steadily uphill, you reach the highest point of our round at the junction to Tenna.

High above the Rabiusa you drive partly in the rock back out of the valley. The impressive views and the silence of nature are impressive. In front of the Versamer Tobel you can also expect a challenging but rideable, serpentine single trail.

At Trin train station - in the middle of the famous Rhine Gorge - you come to the lowest point of the tour. From there, the second climb has to be mastered. However, this is crowned with the magnificent panoramic view from the viewing platform "il Spir". All that comes after that is dessert: the view of the famous Lake Cauma, the roller coaster-like descent to Bargaus and the original village of Sagogn. They accompany you on the way back to the starting point in Ilanz.

In the 1.7 km long Aclatobel Tunnel in the Safien Valley, there is a narrow pavement to drive on. A functioning rear light nevertheless provides additional safety.

The tour is not suitable for beginners, as it leads in the Versamer Tobel partly over exposed paths and short trail sections. A safe driving style is mandatory.

The "il Spir" viewing platform is a must for excursions to the Surselva holiday region. Nowhere else can you enjoy such an impressive view over the Ruinaulta (Rhine Gorge).
