Rundloipe Sedrun

Easy gliding sections alternate with more demanding parts; there are challenging ascents and fast descents. From the start at the community center, the trail first leads below the villages of Sedrun and Rueras. In Dieni, the ruins of Putnengia Castle are passed. This was probably built in the 13th century by the lords of Pontaningen and was inhabited for over 200 years. 

Several loops later, the lowest point of the trail is reached, and you glide along the Rhine – sometimes through the forest and then again over open fields. After the power plant, where for over 20 years the construction site of the NEAT project was located, the area was renaturalized. It is now accessible on cross-country skis. The gently ascending section back to Sedrun is also thanks to NEAT: the temporary construction site access road for the railway remained and is part of the trail in winter.

If all loops are included, a full roundtrip amounts to about 15 kilometers of trail. However, this can be shortened or extended at various points as desired. Leisurely cross-country skiers prefer to loop mostly in the valley floor starting at the power plant.

Sedrun night trail: Tuesday, Friday & Saturday open from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM 

The Viva restaurant at the campsite is open in winter. Ideal for extending a day of cross-country skiing on the terrace.

From Sedrun train station, we follow Via Gionda to the main road. Directly opposite, we see the community center, which we bypass on the left. The start of the cross-country ski trail is located below the community center. However, the trail can also be accessed from other points, e.g., Via Cavorgia, Camischolas, Rueras, or Dieni
