Crest da Tiarms

If this sounds like an enjoyable day to you and the weather forecast for the weekend is good, then you should oil your chain now and set off for Laax. There you will first take the gondola up to Crap Sogn Gion. And while all the other bikers turn off in the direction of the Never-End Trail, you pedal relaxed on wide paths up to Crap Masegn. Here the descent begins, so put on your schooner and lower the saddle. After a first bit of downhill you'll have to push for a while but then you'll be standing on Crest da Tiarms, the highest point of the tour. The trail up on the ridge is scenically sensational, you’ll feel like the king of the world. But be careful: super flowing and extremely blocked sections abruptly alternate here.

At some point the forest returns, the ground is covered with spruce needles and the trail offers many possibilities for jumping and playing. There is a short uphill to Siat and then the final descent to Rueun.  Here the summer fireworks end, and you can either go directly back to the train station at Ilanz to or end the day with a refreshing footbath on the banks of the Rhine.
