Description

From the Flims valley station, you take the FlemX up to the Nagens Sura mountain station. Here you start your climb on a well-developed gravel road, all the way up to the Vorab mountain station at 2571m (no service in winter). The rocks and limestone pavements polished by the ice of the Vorab glacier form an impressive natural artwork – and are a perfect playground for mountain bikers.

Behind the Vorab 3000 mountain station, the trail starts over the rocks of the former Vorab firn, with only the red-white color markers showing the way through the rough landscape. The singletrail descent crosses the road and leads through alpine terrain. At Camona Vorab it meets the Masegn round. The marked path meanders through the alpine rocky landscape and over alpine meadows down to Alp Sogn Martin. Here follows a short ascent on the gravel road to Mughels, where the route joins the Nagens trail. Initially still easy, it becomes technically more demanding in the middle section with rougher root passages. Finally, the flower experience is at the center on the Runca trail.

The route is suitable for advanced riders and is also good to ride with an e-bike. Safe riding in alpine terrain is a prerequisite.
In the summer months, you can make the tour even longer and start it on the summit of the nearby Laaxer Stöckli (only for very experienced bikers).
