Obersaxen - Panoramatour.
At the least since Carlo Jankas triumph at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and his win of the overall world cup in 2010 Obersaxen is a term in the world of sports. Here Janka has let his skitechnique flourish. Refine your technique and physical condition is in Obersaxen not just possible on skis, but also on your bike. The «Panoramatour» lends itself for this purpose as one of numerous variants. The tour lifes up to its name, since it attracts with its ample view onto mountains and valleys. And even in a cultural aspect interested bikers will be thoroughly satisfied: the route passes by the castle ruine Schwarzenstein, built in the 13th century from habitants of Rhäzüns, which had a sense for noble residential area amidst remote nature.

Worth seeing:
- Castle ruine Schwarzenstein
