The Sura Alp - also known as Rhäzünser Alp - stands at 1760 metres above sea level above Rhäzüns. There are 1250 meters of altitude to overcome from the village to the alp. The panoramic view of the Vorab, the Tschingelhörner, the Ringelspitz, the Calanda, and the Rhine valley near Chur, as well as the Safier and Domleschg mountains make this climb well worth the effort. The Rhäzünser Alp can be reached via hiking trails or on rewarding mountain bike tour, which is sign posted by the official number 262.

• View Bikepark map

The bike trails, known since the MTB Swiss Championships 2009, have been steadily expanded since then. Many returning visitors describe the Alpenbikepark as one of the best bike parks in Switzerland due to its varied set-up and well-maintained tracks. The constant expansions over the years have made the park a real insider tip. 

Due to the relatively low altitude of the bike park (lower distances: 1170 - 595 m, upper distances: 1595 - 1170 m) the Alpenbikepark is also an established attraction in the low season. The pre-season in spring starts unsually already in April and the autumn season often lasts well into the wintertime.
