- Description
-
A leisurely ride from Laax up Murschetg, the tour takes you across the slopes of the Surselva to Falera and Ladir. Past old farmhouses, small chapels and through the unique panorama of the Grisons mountains. In Ruschein, a short stop at the village church allows you to fill your bottle with fresh well water before you start the descent to Ilanz. The wide trail is flowing and suitable for riders of all levels. Passing the Dominican nunnery, the route initially follows the Rhine for three kilometres until it starts to climb again. The trail climbs steadily through the Flims forest towards Lake Cauma and back up through Flims to Alp Foppa and Startgels, the highest point of the tour.Here you enter the Runca Trail, over waves, doubles and tables of the seemingly endless eight-kilometre flow trail down to Flims. This descent was the highlight of the week for the Swiss Epic participants.
The tour is only digital, and not signalled in the terrain, it is suitable for beginners and advanced riders and is also easy to ride with an ebike. Safe riding on alpine single trails is a prerequisite.
