Thw trail, which starts right on the outskirts of Siat, winds through the dense forest down to Rueun and is wellknown for mountainbikers. On the valley floor you finally roll to Ilanz. Here the post bus up to Obersaxen is waiting, where by fit mountainbikers take the 650 vertical meters to the Misanengadistrict of Obersaxen under their own steam. The muscle power saved by the post bus ride can then be invested in the remaining ascent up to Alp Nova. Todo this, follow the asphalt road to Wali and there you will reach the signposted mountainbike route up to Alp Nova. The alp is the well-known crossing from Obersaxen into Val Lumnezia and on this stage of the Hüttentour Surselva the starting point of the great final stretch. On fast meadow trails you ride down towards Lumbrein, but then above the village you follow the route to the right towards Vrin. This final stretch is first-class and leads on fine singletrails in afluid up-and-down always above the road to the village of Vrin, where the next aperitif awaits in the legendar y Péz Terri to celebrate the day.

Author’s recommendation

If you stay overnight at Casa di Luzi in Surcasti, follow the route of the third stage from Vrin. The route leads down to Surin and from there along the signposted mountainbike route to Surcasti.
