One of the highlights of the second stage is the crossing from Obersaxen into the Val Lumnezia. The gentle hilly landscape with numerous stables burned by the sun is almost kitschy. And finally, a serpentine descent of the very best awaits you.

Description

On this stage, things get off to a sharp start. Around 700 metres of altitude difference in one go are served for breakfast from Obersaxen Meierhof. The road goes up via Miraniga to Wali. The following section of the route to Alp Stavonas is a dream. On a dirt road you reach the highest point of the day – Alp Nova at 2079 m above sea level. M. You've long since left the tree line behind and up here the clocks seem to tick a little slower. Perfect for a break in the saddle. The route continues patgific (leisurely) to Alp Sezner. On the descent to Vignogn you can enjoy a unique view of the Val Lumnezia. Tip on hot days: Take a break at the Davos Munts bathing lake, cool your muscles and eat in the restaurant. Via Vella, the journey continues through the valley to Morissen, where the second-to-last climb of the day awaits. Via the small chapel Sogn Carli you reach the mountain inn Bündner Rigi. Also in the artist's café at 1618 m above sea level. M. is worth a break. The terrace surprises you with an enchanting view of the Surselva and Rhine Gorge. For all those who love switchbacks, the highlight of the day follows with the winding descent to Luven. Afterwards you drive into Ilanz, the first town on the Rhine, and at the end you roll comfortably to the stage finish in Castrisch.

Geheimtipp

The Trans Grischun leads at regular intervals through inhabited areas, so that you can always find places to stay overnight and adapt the stages to your needs.

Sicherheitshinweis
