Churer Joch to Runcalier Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's not fun with an XC bike and racing tires. If it's still damp, even less. Steep, exposed, rooted, not for everyone

The trail through the forest is quite challenging in places. Some sections here will be rated S2. Lots of roots and moisture-retaining forest floor: definitely difficult to ride when wet! …

The Ruedi Supersteep!!! Blast trail down on Chur. The upper section itself is fast, with some steep curves and big roots (check your brakes, what's that smell?), but the meadow up to the trail re-entry is killer. You need a good suspension setup and be able to power through without brakes, but then it gets a bit steep and technical again, and after that section you can let it go again, including the meadow to the fire road. After that, it's time to relax until the second part goes through the meadow at the hut. Now it gets steep and fast in the gully, but the exit then back onto the road curve is rather tough. From now on, it gets really fast over the root field. Be careful here, "construction berm with cable" - because now it gets a bit rocky and steep, but there's already a nice line to the left of the cable. After that, it's a bit of a bump to the exit - slow down a bit here because the ridge is narrow, if you can handle that, then it's easy to get to the Grida. That's all.

Not rideable for everyone at the top, but after that shouldn't be a problem.

Everything from S1 to S3 is included. You'll definitely be awake until you get down. 😜

The red gondola cabins of the Brambrüeschbahnen connect Chur's local mountain with the city. While the mountain station is the starting point or destination of many hikes, in the valley you are almost in the middle of Chur's old town, where you can be chauffeured back to your desired destination thanks to the good SBB connections.
