Isla Sut Bike

It is an after-work tour, a family outing or simply a short and sweet bike tour to the young Rhine. This tour can be ridden early in spring or well into late fall - often even in winter.

From the train station in Ilanz, the first town on the young Rhine, the bike route leads across the meadows and fields above Castrisch. Easy gravel roads and short, flowing single trails lead you towards the Rhine. Pass under the railroad line and continue along a short section of hiking trail along the Rhine to Isla Sut (nature reserve) at the entrance to the Rhine Gorge. There is a barbecue site and an amazingly large sandy beach right by the water. Enjoy a picnic on the peninsula on the banks of the Rhine. Strengthened, the route continues uphill to Castrisch. The historic village center with its typical fountain is under heritage protection and well worth a stop. A protected bat colony lives in the attic of the church.

Rolling out on country lanes and a short section of easy singletrack at the very end round off this tour perfectly.
