This is the most challenging stage of the Rhine route, but an unforgettable experience for those who love challenges.

Day 3: Disentis – Ilanz (31 km; +260 m)

You will leave Disentis and venture into the Surselva, the largest Romansh-speaking area in Grisons. Your day will be characterized by a series of ascents and descents as you follow the bubbling Rhine through picturesque locations. Each village has a story to tell, so take the time to explore and savor the local culture.

Day 4: Ilanz – Bad Ragaz / Maienfeld (64 km; +700 m)

In this leg, you will experience the thrill of the wild Upper Rhine Canyon, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of Switzerland." You'll reach Chur, the oldest city north of the Alps, known for its high concentration of restaurants where you can stop for a tasty break. Your journey will continue along the calm flow of the river to Maienfeld, famous for its fine Blauburgunder wine. Let yourself be enchanted by its wine traditions and natural beauty.

Day 5: Bad Ragaz / Maienfeld – Vaduz / Buchs SG (21 km; +25 m)

Today, you'll explore the fertile Bündner Herrschaft, the garden and vineyard of Grisons laid out on a bed of slate debris. This area is also known as the homeland of Heidi, Geissenpeter, and the Alpöhi. Let yourself be carried away by local stories and legends as you pedal through these iconic lands.

Day 6: Buchs SG – Rorschach (70 km; +170 m)

Your route will take you to the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, a region often caressed by the warm Föhn wind. In this area, the Alpenrhein water correction has created the largest freshwater delta in Europe, rich in birdlife.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
