The varied loop begins in Staderas. Via a widely ramified network of forest trails, it leads through Laax's Grosswald forest to the Tuora vantage point with a view of the Rhine Gorge.

The route is also very suitable for an e-bike tour.

This varied and easy circular tour down to Sagogn begins at the Staderas parking lot between Flims and Laax. The tour leads on forest paths through the large forest of Laax to the vantage point at the hamlet of Tuora, which offers the best view of the impressive Rhine Gorge with its unique rock formations. The path, which was already used in the late Middle Ages as a transit route to the Bündner Oberland, winds its way past Maiensässe to Foppas, where there is a fireplace. Once you have crossed the river valley, the path leads past the Schiedberg castle ruins, a short detour is worthwhile and offers a magnificent view of the Flimer Stein and the Val da Mulin. In Sagogn, restaurants invite you to take refreshments before the trail first climbs steeply uphill to the small chapel of Sogn Giacun. On the outskirts of Laax, the route winds through the residential quarter; those who want to can go through the underpass to Laax village and relax at Lake Laax after the tour. Via Laax Murschetg it goes back to Staderas.

Schöne Landschaft und Top Aussicht in die Rheinschlucht. Als Bio-Biker wie schon von Roger schon vorgeschlagen die Runde in unbedingt umgekehrter Richtung machen, . Der Singletrail wäre super zum Hinunterfahren, bergauf nicht alles fahrbar.

Schöne Gegend und Aussicht. Würden die Tour jedoch gegen den Uhrzeigersinn fahren, dann beginnt die Tour mit dem einzigen Singletrail und der steile Anstieg wird hinuntergefahren. Der Aufstieg erfolgt dann auf einer Kiesstrasse in einer angenehmen Steigung.
