Details

Description

This tour includes a descent on the ‘Alter Schin’, a road carved into the steep mountain flank high above the Albula Gorge, which connects the rear Rhine Valley with the Lenzerheide holiday region. Via Lain and Muldain, you reach this sometimes dizzying trade route dating back to the Middle Ages. The tour then leads through spectacular rock tunnels and tranquil villages such as Scharans and Tomils down to the southern-looking Domleschg. Along the way, many different inns invite you to take a breather. The long loop continues on agricultural side roads and cycle paths to Chur, before an ascent via the ‘Polenweg’ to Churwalden and then onwards via Salez and the Mittelberg back to Parpan and Lenzerheide. A little stamina is required on this day tour, but the technical difficulties are limited.
