Description

The stage starts in the tranquil village of Castrisch. You first follow the official Rhine Veloroute No. 3, which is only slightly uphill - perfect for taking it easy on your legs. In Valendas, you can fill your water bottle with fresh mountain spring water from the largest wooden fountain in Europe. Shortly after Carrera, turn off onto the road to Brün and continue up to Imschlacht. The road and views are fantastic. Tip: you can fortify yourself with a portion of mountain cheese, salsiz or a nut tart at the Maiensässbeizli. Continue down into the Safiental valley. Then comes another highlight: the spectacular panoramic road along the Rhine Gorge. The rock faces of the “Swiss Grand Canyon” tower 300 meters high. From Bonaduz, you cycle along side roads to Chur. The section between the capital of Graubünden and Lavin in the Lower Engadine is covered comfortably on the Rhaetian Railway.

From the Lower Engadin village of Lavin, your muscle power is needed once again. The route to the stage finish takes you along a fine gravel path via Guarda to Scuol. Below you, the bright turquoise Inn River flows. The landscape in the Lower Engadin presents a completely different picture. The sunburnt stables of the Surselva have given way to houses adorned with colorful paintings. The art of Sgraffito, the traditional stucco technique of the region, is now mastered by only a few in the valley. And in Scuol, not only does mountain spring water flow from the fountains, but even mineral water. Simply gschpunna.

Total distance and elevation gain (excluding public transport sections): 66 km, 1,400 meters of ascent, 1,900 meters of descent.

Geheimtipp

The Trans Grischun passes through inhabited areas at regular intervals, so that you can always find places to stay overnight and adapt the stages to your needs.

Sicherheitshinweis

The tour should not be undertaken in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes are frequent in the mountains. If a rain front or similar is approaching during the hike, you should turn back in good time.
