Bischol Pass

From the start in Safien, Carfil we send you straight down to the small, artificial Egschi lake and on to a varied and special tunnel route on the right side of the valley. Comparisons with the “Alter Schin” between Thusis and Lenzerheide are certainly appropriate. A few narrow and wide single trails alternate with long, enjoyable gravel roads. The dark tunnels and the impressive views into the depths of the Rabiusa river are unique in the Safiental. Stopping and enjoying the view is practically a must here.

Now follow 800 meters in altitude on the road to Alp Sura. After around two-thirds of the way, you can treat yourself to a snack at Alp Il Bot during the summer season - this can certainly have a motivating effect.

Alp Sura is the starting point for crossing the sunny slopes of the Heinzenberg. You can often enjoy it on alpine roads. But there are also longer, more challenging trails. Sometimes horizontal, sometimes with energy-sapping short climbs. The Parsiras mountain inn is located on the Maiensäss Parsiras and invites you to take a break for refreshments. Once you have reached Lake Pascuminer, it is not far to Lake Bischola and the steep singletrail descent back to Safiental. If you'd like to stop for refreshments, you can do so in the summer Alpbeizli Bischola. The trail is partly easy to ride, but also quite challenging in places. Once back at the bottom of the valley, the tour leads back to the starting point at Egschisee on the sometimes challenging trail of the Walserweg.

In principle, you can also take the main road via Versam and the Versamer Tobel. However, the spectacular section on the right-hand side of the valley described here is much more rewarding.
