Description
Day 1 From Ilanz, the first town on the Rhine, you cycle more or less comfortably along the Rhine gorge to Versam on the first day. Then the long ascent begins along the valley road into the wild and romantic landscape of the Safiental valley to the stage destination of Thalkirch. Don't forget your bike light on this day. The long tunnel and the two galleries urgently require light.
Day 2
The royal stage is on the program for the second day. It goes straight up steeply to the roof of the tour, the Tomül Pass. After the sometimes challenging (S2) descent to Vals, you can treat yourself to lunch here. Strengthened, you roll along the main road to Uors. Now follows the second ascent of the day into Val Lumnezia via bike routes 1 and 222 to Vrin and onwards along cool trails to the stage destination of Lumbrein.
Day 3
The third day starts again with a climb up to Alp Nova. Unfortunately, rolling in is not on the agenda today. On the other side, however, you are rewarded with a beautiful descent via Obersaxen down to Trun. However, the ascent via Schlans to the stage finish in Brigels again requires a well-filled battery or strong calves.
Day 4
The last day scores above all with downhill meters instead of altitude meters. First you ride via Andiast to the Lag da Pigniu reservoir with its fantastic waterfalls at the far end. Then you ride via Pigniu to Siat and on to Ruschein. Enjoy the view for the last time and then head into the final descent back to the starting point of this 4-day tour in Ilanz. If you still haven't had enough, spend the night in the lively little town and go on more beautiful bike tours or hike through the Rhine Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Switzerland.
