Cycling Tours Europe #B1/2649 Vorderrhein and Rhone valley 7-day Self-guided Cycling Tour Level 3 Tour Details and Description The Rhine-Route frames the east of Switzerland in a big bow. You start with a proper climb across the Oberalp pass, the region of the Rhines source, continue through the romanisch-speaking Surselva, and get impressive views of the wild valley Ruinaulta and visit the rätoromanian capital Chur. With the typical local wind at your side you ride through the Bündner Herrschaft (local district) and on the Rhine dam quickly to the wide Lake Constance, where orchards, castles and happy tourist chatter decorate the shore of the green and silver shimmering "Swabian Sea". Tour character: Level 3 The height profile of the Rhine-Route is very steep at the beginning – because the Oberalp Pass and the alpine district of Surselva are followed by the spectacular panoramic stretch through the «Swiss Grand Canyon»: the wildly romantic Rhine Gorge. Afterwards you ride – in a jaunty up and down – through the wine growing region of the Bündner Herrschaft. From Bad Ragaz however the route generally follows the Rhine.
