The dirt road can also be traveled on a road bike...with due caution.

In principle, a very nice tour. However, the climb from Flims to Punta Desch was consistently steep—just manageable for me, but no longer enjoyable. The Segnes and Runca trails are fun to ride.

On this path that climbs to the highest point of the Anterior Rhine Valley, the place is perfect to stop for a moment and look back. The view of Falera and the surrounding mountains is superb.
