Beschreibung
Day 1
From Ilanz, the first town on the Rhine, you ride more or less leisurely along the Rhine Gorge to Versam on the first day. Then begins the long climb along the valley road into the wildly romantic landscape of Safiental to the stage destination Thalkirch. Don't forget your bike light on this day. The long tunnel and the two galleries urgently need light.
Day 2
The king stage is on the program for the second day. It goes directly steeply up to the roof of the tour, the Tomülpass. After the partly challenging (S2) descent to Vals you can enjoy a lunch here. Strengthened, you roll on the main road to Uors. Now follows the second climb of the day into Val Lumnezia via bike routes 1 and 222 to Vrin and further over cool trails to the stage destination Lumbrein.
Day 3
The third day starts again with a climb up to Alp Nova. Unfortunately, warming up is not planned today. On the other side, however, you will be rewarded with a beautiful descent over Obersaxen down to Trun. The climb over Schlans to the stage destination Brigels requires a well-filled battery or strong calves again.
Day 4
The last day mainly scores with descent meters instead of altitude meters. First, you ride over Andiast to the Lag da Pigniu reservoir with its wonderful waterfalls at the far end. Then you ride via Pigniu to Siat and further to Ruschein. Enjoy the view one last time and then it goes fast on the last descent back to the starting point of this 4-day route in Ilanz. Those who have not had enough can spend the night in the lively small town and undertake more beautiful bike routes or hike through the Rhine Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Switzerland.
Geheimtipp
Variants
Day 1
- From Carrera, the road to the gravel plant Bärgli can also be taken. The route runs here on the trail (S2).
Day 2
- Descent Tomülpass - Vals: After Schnidlabüdemli take the hiking trail to Vals. This is partly quite rough (S2-3). However, you can always switch back to the road.
- If you have strong calves - or enough battery - you may ride to the village of Tersnaus and then cruise down to Peiden Bad on the new SchweizMobil 222 Nino Schurter Bike route. Officially in the opposite direction, which is not a problem with careful riding. Afterwards, return to the route at Uors via the main road.
- After Surin, the shortcut can be taken directly via the road (up and down) to the stage destination Lumbrein.
Day 3
- From Sassli you can recharge yourself and your battery at the mountain restaurant Wali. Note: the restaurant is closed in 2024 due to renovation.
Day 4
- Descent Ruschein - Ilanz: take the road to Ilanz. The trail is mostly fluid to ride (S2).
