You start in Chur (593 m above sea level) and ride along the Rhine on the cycle path to Reichenau, where the Anterior and Rear Rhines meet. On side roads, follow cycle path number 3 to Bonaduz (662 m above sea level). Here you can access the spectacular road through the Ruinaulta. The Rhine Gorge, with its 300-metre-high rock faces and rock formations, is also called the "Swiss Grand Canyon". Take a short break to enjoy one of the most diverse landscapes in the Alps. Over the bridge at the end of the first short descent, you will enter a short climb with magnificent hairpin bends that leads to Versam (909 m above sea level). Right at the entrance to the village, turn off in the direction of Safiental and follow the mountain bike route no. 157 "Calörtsch". Via Arezen you reach the mountain pastures near Calörtsch (1401 m above sea level) on dirt roads through forests and meadows. Here you can enjoy a particularly impressive panoramic view of the Flimserstein. Following the MTB route, a short forest path through the Calörtscher Forest (1580 m above sea level) will take you back to a road that will take you to the idyllic village of Brno (1287 m above sea level). The fast descent from Brno will take you back to cycle route 3, which you will follow in the direction of Valendas (809 m above sea level). Valendas delights not only with countless well-preserved manor houses, but also with the largest wooden fountain in Europe. From here, follow the cycle route to Ilanz (699 m above sea level), the first town on the Rhine. From Ilanz you can take the Rhaetian Railway back to the starting point in Chur.

In the communes of Bonaduz, Domat / Ems, Felsberg, Rhäzüns and Tamins, rhiienergie created five interconnected Nordic Walking routes (also suitable for jogging / running). Each route runs for about 10 kilometers on existing paths and roads across meadows and through forests. A corresponding signage shows on the one hand the way direction and on the other the respective distance covered.

The circular tour around the Rhine Gorge from Chur includes numerous highlights and is extremely varied. At the beginning of the route, you cross the Rhine twice at Reichenau, where the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein rivers meet. After Bonaduz, the spectacular road follows above the Rhine Gorge via Versam and Valendas. The Zault and Spitg viewing platforms reveal magnificent views of the natural wonder of the Rhine Gorge. On the way back, after the climb to Laax, there is a beautiful section through the Flimserwald forest and to the Conn lookout tower, from where a sensational panorama of the Rhine Gorge opens up from high above. The next highlight is Lake Cresta, before the return trip via Trin, Tamins and Felsberg back to the Alpine City of Chur.  

After a leisurely roll through the Graubünden Rhine Valley into the Prättigau region, the climb on the mountain road towards Valzeina begins shortly before Grüsch. The small mountain village is a typical Walser scattered settlement with numerous farms, which are far apart. After leaving the asphalt road, the climb continues through the long, wild and magnificent Valzeina valley up to Stams, the highest point of the tour. The beautifully situated Walser settlement is today only used as a maiensäss. In addition to the great view far into the Chur Rhine Valley, there is also a rustic mountain restaurant where you can fortify yourself with drinks and Graubünden specialties.

Now follows a long descent via Says - also a Walser settlement - down to the village of Trimmis. Finally, it's back to the Alpine City of Chur on a beautiful bike path through the Fürstenwald forest.

The ride is also possible in the opposite direction.

The start takes place at the Obertor and through the historic old town of Chur, past the bishop's court and the cathedral and shortly afterwards on natural paths and through the residential quarter to the Fürstenwald recreation area. After a nice round through the forest we descend again towards the Mühleturm and the banks of the Rhine. After a longer flat stretch along the Rhine, the way back follows a magnificent section of forest until you finally immerse yourself in city life again from the Rosenhügel back to the old town.

From the tranquil village of Felsberg, this round tour leads up a forest road through open fields and later through the forest. On the descent, however, it's over with the cosiness; for this is technical from the start, steep in places and with several places interspersed with stones and with some narrow and difficult hairpin bends. If you like demanding and technical trails, this is the right place for you. Shortly before Benis Boden the trail branches off to the left and at the end there is a portion of flow waiting. The trail along the Rhine river back to Felsberg is also very fluid and fun to ride.

This beautiful route leads from Chur to the Piz Scalottas. Not directly, of course. So it goes from Chur ers to Brambrüesch, over the Fuulhorn and Stätzerhorn and finally over the Piz Danis until the finish on the Piz Scalottas is reached. From Piz Scalottas you can comfortably take the chairlift back down to the valley.  

The route from Chur to Lenzerheide is signposted and can be walked all year round. The route from Lenzerheide to the Rothorn can be walked from June.

The start is in Chur on the Quader meadow. From there you take the route through the old town and then turn to the road Chur-Arosa. At the junction “Arosa” continue straight towards Sand. At Sand, the route leaves the asphalt road on a gravel road towards Passugg. In Passugg, the route leads around the building of the drink manufacturer Passugger and leaves the road again on a dirt road. After a climb, you turn onto a wide gravel road. Follow the “Polish” path to Churwalden. You run through the village Churwalden (1’240m asl) past the post office, Coop and after the hotel Hemmi you turn left. Afterwards a longer section starts up to Büel, Foppa. In Foppa (1’753 m asl) turn into the asphalt road direction Parpan. After about 1 km down the road, turn left onto a narrow path towards Mittelberg. At Mittelberg, turn left onto the asphalt road that leads to Parpan. At the first junction in Parpan (1’493m asl), turn right into the main road just before the main road, turn left and then go up the parallel to the Hotel Alpina. After the post office, turn left. After about 15m turn right and after another 10m turn right again. You then turn directly into a narrow path that leads over roots to the Valbellnerhöhe. There you walk past a very small lake and then you run parallel to the road until you reach Canols. On your right, you can see the big lake Heidsee. Cross the main street and walk past the Canols kiosk. After a round around the right side of lake Heidsee you cross the main road at the Rothorn valley station. After the underpass turn right and then walk up the sidewalk and after about 100m cross the side of road and run straight into the forest. After about 1.5 km on a gravel road in the forest you cross a side road and cross the main road at the underpass. After going around the school you leave Lenzerheide (1’478m asl) again at the underpass and after the underpass you turn right towards village centre. After the UBS building turn left and walk up a steep asphalt road. After approximately 100m turn left onto a 1m wide gravel road. After the steep gravel road turn left onto an asphalt road after about 25m turn right. After another 100m turn left and then climb steeply again towards the waterfall. The path up to the waterfall is narrow and is very energy-sapping. When you reach the waterfall, a beautiful trail leads up to the Alp Scharmoin (1’904 m asl) to the Rothorn centre station. From the centre station, about 1km has many steep sections on the gravel road. Then there is a small flat section of about 500m. However, the final ascent starts at 2’266m asl on a route of approx. 2.5 km up to the Rothorn summit 2’861 m asl. Once you are on the summit, you can be proud of what you have done, because you have made the toughest marathon in the world!

From Chur, follow the course of the Rhine and cross the villages of Felsberg and Tamins to the confluence of the Rhine at Reichenau. You then reach the high plateau of the municipalities of Bonaduz and Rhäzüns. The route takes you past the historic Sogn Gieri church. Optionally, you can plan a detour to Rhäzüns to visit the church of Sogn Paul. The new Hinterrheinsteg, which connects national cycle routes no. 2 (Rhine route) and no. 6 (Graubünden route), finally takes you back to Chur via the Domat/Ems golf course. 

The new Hinterrheinsteg opens up many possibilities and is also suitable for families. 

The round tour can be started from various starting points. This description starts in Chur. (Alternatively also in Lenzerheide and Arosa) The Brambrüesch mountain railway takes you from the capital to the first summit, to Brambrüesch. The start of the Freeride Tour is identical to the signposted Biketicket to RIDE red No. 616 to Churwalden. From Heidbüel you traverse via Alp Stätz to Heidsee. We continue on the eastern flank of Lenzerheide, on the Rothorn side. With an additional loop on the Weisshorn Speed, the fresh The Great White is taken with you before you go to Arosa via the Älplisee Trail. A real single trail highlight for experienced bikers. Once in Arosa, you can comfortably take the Hörnli cable car to the Hörnli. Now it's off on the technically very demanding single trail down to the Schwellisee. The next train, Arosa to the Weishorn, takes you back to 2,653 meters above sea level in no time. A breathtaking single trail leads from the Weisshorn summit to Ochsenalp and on to Tschiertschen. After the village tour, further trail highlights lead to Chur. After six peaks, ten mountain railways and endless single trails downhill, the tour ends again in Chur.
