Description
The start and finish is in Breil-Brigels, a Romansh mountain village on the sunny slope of the Surselva.
This route is known for its original, partly newly built and well-ridable singletrails. There is something for everyone. Some demanding sections and many well-maintained trail meters for great riding fun. The beautiful mountain panoramas above the forest line also speak for themselves.
Immediately after the start, the first singletrail down to the Vorderrhein awaits you. This section is especially popular with locals. After nearly 500 vertical meters of trail fun, the route now follows cycle path number 2 to the village of Trun. Now you have almost 900 vertical meters to conquer via Schlans and the Alp da Schlans on side roads and alpine roads. This costs a lot of sweat or a decent battery charge on the e-bike.
Between the Alp da Schlans Sut and the Alp Tschgn Dadens Sut, there is a horizontally running singletrail that later merges into a smoothly rideable trail to Plaids. Now it's just coasting on a gravel road to Brigels.
Hidden Gem
Before returning to Brigels, you can take a break at the picnic spot "Plaun da Plaids".
At the campsite in Trun, you can recharge for the long climb in the restaurant.
Safety Note
In uncertain weather conditions, the route should not be started. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a rain front or similar arises during the route, you should turn back in time.
Respect other trail users - trail tolerance!
