EVENTS<br />
ENDURO<br />
The enduro routes demand technique and fi tness and<br />
sometimes you just have to grit your teeth to scale the<br />
summit. But it is always worth it, because the harder you<br />
work, the more spectacular the view. The region‘s excursion<br />
restaurants provide a boost of energy for the journey<br />
back. The next service point isn‘t far away if<br />
you have a breakdown.<br />

Ilanz.<br />
point on the route, before tackling the climb in the direction of Riein. The route<br />

between many scattered mountain pastures. A rapid descent leads through<br />
Riein and Sevgein back to Illanz.<br />

scapes of the Rhine Gorge, we would advise you to split the circuit up into a number<br />
of day stages. Then you will be able to make the most of the swimming lakes of Cauma<br />
and Cresta. There are plenty of places where you can stop overnight along the<br />
route. It’s not only the landscape that varies greatly, there is also great variation in<br />
the trails as they chop and change from tarmac roads to forest roads to single trails.<br />
