The start of this tour is at the train station Chur. Cycle out of the city in eastern direction, through the Fürstenwald (forest) to the village of Trimmis. When you have crossed the stream in Trimmis, the ascent begins on the right side up to Says and further up to Stams, where you will have a splendid panorama view. During the summer months, the restaurant in Stams is feasted and you can refresh yourself with some drinks and snacks.

From Stams follow the trail uphill across the meadow. And then the first downill begins on a challenging but ridable single track into direction of Clavadatsch. Back on the street you continue to Valzeina, where the second (but short) ascent begins and leads you up to the Mittagsplatte, where a 120 m high transmitting mast is positioned. Shortly before, you branch off to the left and follow a trail through the meadow to a fence. Here, the second part of the descent begins. At first quite steep and demanding, but soon getting easier and smoother, through the "Schlund" back into the valley. Leave the village of Zizers to your right and continue along Molinära back to Trimmis. After crossing the village, follow the trail to the Rhine river. From there, follow the official cycling path Rhine route No. 2 back to Chur.

This tour takes you from Chur through the wine regions of the Rhine valley and the Bündner Herrschaft. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and villages in this region. The journey back to Chur is along the well known bicycling route along the Rhine river.

This route takes you through the hills of the Bündner Herrschaft, past huge vineyards and picturesque Torkeln, up to the St. Luzisteig. At 713 metres above sea level, the top of the pass is reached.  A rapid descent leads further down into Liechtenstein. From there it goes back on the Rhine dam in the direction of Chur. Flat and without car traffic, the Rhine dam invites you to really push your pedals. The Rhine dam ends at Bad Ragaz and the route leads along country roads via Bad Ragaz back to Landquart. From there, take  the same route back to Chur as you came. 

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.
