Details
Description
Day 1
From Ilanz, the first town on the Rhine, you will ride more or less comfortably along the Rhine Gorge to Versam on the first day. The long ascent then begins along the valley road into the wildly romantic landscape of the Safiental valley to the stage destination of Thalkirch. Don't forget your bike light on this day. The long tunnel and the two galleries are in urgent need of light.
Day 2
On the second day, the queen stage is on the agenda. It goes directly steeply up to the roof of the tour, the Tomül Pass. After the sometimes challenging (S2) descent to Vals, you can treat yourself to lunch here. Strengthened, you roll on the main road to Uors. Now follows the second ascent of the day into Val Lumnezia via bike routes 1 and 222 to Vrin and on cool trails to the stage destination Lumbrein.
Day 3
The third day starts again with an ascent up to Alp Nova. Unfortunately, rolling in is not the order of the day today. On the other side, however, you will be rewarded with a beautiful descent via Obersaxen down to Trun. However, the ascent via Schlans to the stage finish in Brigels requires a well-recharged battery or tight calves.
Day 4
The last day scores above all with downhill meters instead of altitude meters. First you go via Andiast to the reservoir Lag da Pigniu with its great waterfalls at the back end. Then you drive via Pigniu to Siat and on to Ruschein. Enjoy the view for the last time and then it goes quickly into the last descent back to the starting point of this 4-day tour to Ilanz. If you haven't had enough yet, you can spend the night in the lively small town and go on more beautiful bike tours or hike through the Rhine Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Switzerland.
Geheimtipp
Variants
Day 1
- From Carrera, you can also take the road to the Bärgli gravel plant. The route runs here on the trail (S2).
Day 2
- Departure Tomülpass - Vals: After Schnidlabüdemli, take the hiking trail to Vals. This is sometimes quite rough (S2-3). However, it is always possible to switch to the road.
- If you have strong calves - or enough battery - you can ride to the village of Tersnaus and cruise down to Peiden Bad on the new SchweizMobil 222 Nino Schurter Bike. Officially in the opposite direction, but this is not a problem when driving carefully. Then take the main road back to the route to Uors.
- After Surin, the shortcut can be taken directly via the road (up and down) to the stage destination in Lumbrein.
Day 3
- From Sassli, you can recharge your bike and battery at the Wali mountain restaurant. Attention: The restaurant will be closed for renovation in 2024.
Day 4
- Exit Ruschein - Ilanz: Take the road to Ilanz. However, the trail is mostly smooth to ride (S2).
