Beschreibung

The route starts in Thusis at the Marktwiese car park. After a few meters, you leave the paved road and continue on varied trails. Passing by Ehrenfels Castle, the trail climbs towards Crap Carschenna, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Domleschg. After a short descent, you enter the Viamala Gorge on a narrow single trail with views down into the impressive gorge. Concentrated running is necessary here, as the path is easy to walk but somewhat exposed. Soon you reach the Traversinersteg, a staircase hanging about 70 meters above the ground. In the gorge, continue following the Rhine before changing direction and running back towards Thusis on the other side of the river. Via Rongellen and Crapteig, you then reach the starting point via a steep and technically demanding downhill.

Geheimtipp

It is worth making a stop at the visitor center in the heart of the Viamala Gorge. In Thusis, there are various dining options.

Ausrüstung

Trail running shoes with good tread, sufficient food and fluids, trail running backpack with weather-appropriate clothing
