Details
Description
From Rabius, you ride down the old natural road to Surrein. You cross the Rhine and reach the quiet village of Surrein. You pass through the village along the valley floor towards Disentis. At the junction Cumpadials/Val Sumvitg, you turn right, cross the Rhine a second time, and reach Cumpadials. Then take the right turn on the side road to Sumvitg. Upon arrival in Sumvitg, cross the main road and continue on the side road towards S.Benedetg/Clavadi uphill.
At the next junction, continue on the paved road to the sunny hamlet of Clavadi. From here the route leads on a natural road uphill through the alpine pasture of Salvaplauna to Crest Ault at 1657 m a.s.l. From here, a zigzag route continues through the "Uaul dils Brens" to the tree line and on to the "Rusna S. Gions" in the Val Murtès.
Well done! You have reached the highest point of the route at 1976 m a.s.l. Here a singletrail runs along the valley flank to Alp Glivers Dadens. This trail section is partly narrow and demanding. It was optimized for bikers by the Lions Club Surselva in 2022/23. Nevertheless, caution is advised, and at some spots it is recommended to walk a few meters. Soon you reach the mountain hut Stalla Alp Glivers. From here, a natural road leads you to Alp Dado Sut. Now you can look forward to about 800 meters of descent. The downhill leads diversely over singletrails, wider trails, and small roads down to the alpine pastures of Tschèps, through the Val S. Benedetg to the hamlet Siltginas and then down to Plaun da Crusch at 1248 m a.s.l. On a side road, you reach Sumvitg. The return trip to Rabius, the starting point of the route, is not far now.
The route can also be done in the reverse direction via Sumvitg to Plaun da Crusch (before S. Benedetg) to the alpine pastures of Tschèps to Alp Glivers Dado Sut.
