A very challenging mountain route along natural paths as far as the edge of the Vorab Glacier. Mainly suitable for trained bikers or as a day tour. Return via Grauberg to the Segneshütte and onwards to Flims.

This technically demanding day tour with its challenging conditions starts in Staderas. The ascent begins at Murschetg and continues up to Plaun. Cross the bridge over the Bergbach and, after passing the barbecue area, continue on towards Nagens. At the Nagens mountain station you continue westwards along natural paths towards Vorab and up to the edge of the Vorab Glacier. Now you retrace your route back to the Nagens mountain station and from there to Grauberg station. Here you will see the Lower Segnesboden (UNESCO World Heritage Site) before passing the Segneshütte. After this you start the steep descent to Startgels and on to Flims. From Flims you follow the main road to the starting point at Staderas. Freeride tip: Save 1,000 height metres by taking the Nagens shuttle to Nagens. Food and drink available at Alp Nagens and the Segneshütte.
