Great Lumnezia loop: Vella-Alp da Lumbrein-Vrin-Surin-Vella (Gravel)

A gentle warm-up? No chance! This Lumnezia route starts directly with a continuous ascent – it goes uphill from the very beginning. But with every pedal stroke, the summit gets closer, and once reached, the efforts are quickly forgotten.

After the strenuous climb on the sunny side of the valley, there is a long, rewarding descent – followed by crossing to the opposite valley side. The route passes through the dreamy villages of Surin and Silgin, where asphalt turns to gravel and the gravel heart beats faster.

At the end, there is another last ascent back to Vella. But with the destination in sight, this is quickly done as well.

• Starting early is worth it: In summer, the first ascent is fully exposed to the sun – those who start early benefit from more pleasant temperatures and quiet paths.
• Also enjoyable in reverse: The route can easily be ridden in the opposite direction – offering new perspectives and riding dynamics.
• Highlight before Silgin: Treat yourself to a little adventure, the technically easy single trail leads over an impressive suspension bridge – a real experience for gravel fans looking for variety.
