The Oberalp Pass: a classic from Graubünden just like Capuns and Salsiz. The hairpin bends before the pass summit are made for road bike dreams, and the climb to Lai da Curnera is a hidden gem. Concentration is required on the fast descent to Disentis.

The background extras in this ride into the wild, legendary Val Sinestra are characteristic lower Engadine village outlines. Gentle climbs alternate with steep slopes.

After the rhythmic road to Sufnersee follows gravel to probably the most beautiful mountain pass village in Switzerland. From Splügen it gets steep, but without nasty ramps. At Lai da Vons, wide views reward you, including to Rheinwaldhorn. The descent to Andeer? Long, fast and quite bumpy.

Following a Graubünden icon – the Rhaetian Railway – takes you from imposing Benedictine Abbey of Disentis down into the valley; there are a few sharp inclines to master. After the turn, the Rhine side: pure gravel fun in a constant up and down as if on a roller coaster, and finally a short, fun single-trail descent.

Sweat-inducing circuit of one of the most beautiful viewpoint mountains in Switzerland with best panorama guarantee. At the latest at the summit of Alp Nova with its weathered huts, the air gets thin after 2000 m of altitude gain. The singletrail descent from the Obersaxen high plateau: top class.

A highlight route to another world: steep ramps wind up from Scuol to the former mining settlement of S-charl. But on gravel the incline soon becomes gentler – and the surroundings are otherworldly beautiful. Along the rough gravel bed of the meandering Clemgia, the mountain path leads almost to the highest Swiss stone pine forest in Europe, the God da Tamangur.

Super Schöne Tour bei bestem Radwetter! Nicht zu heiß und nicht zu kalt. Am Besten bei mildem Herbstwetter unter der Woche. Ziemlich wenig Verkehr für Stilfser Joch Verhältnisse, ab dem Umbrail so gut, wie kein Verkehr mehr, allerdings auch keine Radler mehr auf der Reststrecke. Falls einige sich vor den Höhenmetern scheuen, es sind ca. 3500 HM, also bei Weitem keine 4670 HM. Die Kilometer stimmen.
