Description

The wonderful Splügen Pass via the historic site of Viamala is a truly wonderful day out on the bike. The road meanders through the valley on flat roads to Thusis, where the climbing begins and the roads come to life. We pass Viamala and stay on the old road to Splügen. The scenery is dramatic and the road winds itself around the Sufner See prior to the real treat, the Splügenpass. Once you reach the top (9km averaging 7%) take in the stunning view and enjoy the ride back to Tamins where after a long ride the bus will take you and your bike back to Flims.
