Description

The route starts at the valley station of the Bergbahnen Brigels. After a few meters through the mountain village, you cross the main road and enter the first flowing singletrail. In Flimegl, shortly before Dadrin, the route then branches left onto a forest road and after a few hundred meters there is a short very steep climb to Carneglias. From here there is a lot of flow again until it becomes a bit more technical shortly before the end. Afterwards, you roll comfortably on the forest road to Danis and further down to the old wooden bridge between Danis and Tavanasa. From here the route follows the signposted national bike route “2 Rhine Route” to Ilanz station. From Ilanz you ride over Strada and Schnaus back to Rueun. In the village of Rueun, the route first heads towards Pigniu, but then branches left onto the dirt road at the first hairpin turn. This leads you to the connecting road Andiast - valley station Curtginet. Via Migliè the route now goes to Brigelsersee and further to the starting point of the route.

Hidden Gem

Shorten the bike route with the help of the post bus from Ilanz to Waltensburg/Vuorz, Ucliva and save about 450 meters in altitude.

Safety Note

The route should not be started in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a rain front or similar comes up during the route, you should turn back in time.
