Hotel La Tgoma - Bed & Breakfast

Challenge route of the Swiss Mountainpower Challenge (today Alpenchallenge). Driven in 2002. Extremely demanding route with massive gradients. The 16% gradient from Alvaneu Bad to Alvaneu Dorf has not been part of the program since then.

The trail starts in Lantsch in the middle of the mountain settlement and then it goes past Brienz/Brinzauls. Passing the Belfort castle ruins, we continue down to Surava. The castle ruins are clearly divided into an upper and a lower castle. The mighty square keep is probably the oldest part of the complex. Belfort is first mentioned in 1222 as the property of the Barons of Vaz. A great tour.

Beautiful tour in the forests of the Lantsch region and its Ela nature park. This tour crosses the Val Meltger suspension bridge and is therefore an exciting experience. The steep ascent to the suspension bridge begins at the tarred road. Then they meet at a narrow path to Vasternos to a lonely alpine hut. A forest road leads down to the next junction where the road leads up again until you cross the largely dried-up mountain stream at Runcalatsch. From there it is only down to the starting...

The second segment of the Via Albula / Bernina with route number 33 takes the explorer from Tiefencastel directly to Filisur. The highlight of this route is the imposing Landwasser Viaduct just before the enchanting town of Filisur. Before that, the trail passes the lush and foaming Albula source where there is the chance to head up to the photo spot for a souvenir photo of the world-famous viaduct. This route is also very suitable for children.

Fantastic and varied cycle route. Instead of following the Julier Pass road, taking the trail along forest roads is also possible. Then, however, with more than 3000 meters of altitude, so rather to be taken with caution. The area is charming but has a lot of elevation gain, which one should definitely consider well before heading out. However, it is possible to relax and take a break along the route on the shores of the lakes. The entire route leads through and out of the heart of Ela Park...
