Description

The first meters lead through the historic district of Ilanz, the first town on the Rhine. Then it continues on the main road to Cumbel in Lumnezia. From here it becomes quieter and your own breath louder. The paved alpine road passes the charming mountain village of Morissen and continues to the solitary chapel Sogn Carli. Here you could enjoy a picnic or light the existing fire pit. If you do not want to carry extra weight up the mountain, a little later you will be fully rewarded at the inn Bündner Rigi with the best panorama.

Note: The mountain inn Bündner Rigi is not always open. Here you can find the opening hours.

From here, your path leads back to Ilanz over gravel roads and little asphalt.

Hidden Gem

Those who prefer to ride up on gravel and down on asphalt can also do the route in reverse.

Safety Note

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