The Rhine Gorge in Graubünden is one of the most majestic and diverse landscapes in the Alps. The wild gorge combines roaring rapids with steep white cliffs and expansive woodlands. This circular route around the Rhine Gorge guides you along forested roads and single trails through the diverse landscape of the Vorderrheintal valley.
Whoever can complete the round tour in a single day from Ilanz, over Sagogn, Flims, Trin to Tamins and back to Ilanz via Bonaduz, Versam and Valendas, can count him or herself a biking-ace. However, for those who enjoy the scenery, it is recommended to do this tour in daily stages. The first pleasure is a choice of three bathing lakes: Laaxersee, Caumasee and the Crestasee. Further on are three different viewing-platforms over the unique landscape of Sardona - which is also a UNESCO world heritage site. A worthwhile detour from Versam into the Safiental is rewarded with a glimpse of delightful old Walser hamlets. There are many places to stay along the biking-route, from camping to five-star resorts.

The times when e-bikes were only used as a means of transport are over. Modern e-bikes open up a whole new world of biking for you. You cover distances faster, with less effort and still have just as much fun. In the destination you will find a total of 14 stations where you can charge your e-bike for free. There is a box with the most common e-bike charging cables right next to the station.While your e-mountain bike recharges your batteries, you can relax and enjoy the Crestasee.
One of the first bridge scaffolds that Coray created, the one for the mighty Versamer Bridge, had the difficulty that the distance between the two scaffolding flanks was no less than 25 m.
While your e-mountain bike recharges your batteries, you can relax on the sun terrace or discover interesting cultural treasures. The charging cables are available at Gasthaus Rössli . Please note the opening hours.
Valendas is home to the largest wooden fountain in Europe. While the fountain used to be the only source of water in the village, today it serves more as a meeting place and welcome source of refreshment in summer.
