Tips from the Community
Beautiful and fun-to-ride trail, S1 with a few S2 passages. The terrain is rather steep, sometimes there is not much room for error. However, narrow passages alternate with wider, easier passages, so you can always safely let hikers (who naturally have priority) pass. A scenic and technical highlight!

@bikepro_61: I'm happy to answer the question for Jonas: The climb after the Parpaner Rothorn near Piz Metz, before the start of the Welschtobel-Trail, is not rideable even for e-bikers. The bike has to be carried or pushed for approx. 450 vertical meters in parts, as it is a really steep hiking trail with large steps. The Welschtobel-Trail is actually rideable throughout.

The Landwasser Viaduct of the Rhaetian Railway A must-see for all railway enthusiasts – beauty and boldness combined. With its 65m high, tapering pillars, the viaduct is one of the most elegant bridge constructions in Graubünden and the most photographed work of art of the Rhaetian Railway. The largest and at the same time most spectacular structure on the 63-kilometer-long Albula line between Thusis and St. Moritz. The Albula and Bernina lines of the Rhaetian Railway have been part of the Unesco World Heritage since mid-July 2008, and are only the third railway line worldwide to do so. The construction of the three main pillars of the viaduct in 1901/1902 was an architectural masterpiece, as they were built without scaffolding using two cranes. After 106 years, the masonry and the track trough were repaired for the first time. The natural stone viaduct made of calcdolomite is 142 meters long and leads in a sweeping curve over the wild Landwasser valley directly into a tunnel, the entrance of which is located on the vertically falling rock face. From the village of Filisur, a footpath leads in half an hour to a beautiful viewpoint from which the viaduct can be admired (and photographed). The path continues either down to the river, under the viaduct into the gorge, or at the fork in the path to the viewpoint, continuing for two hours to the Wiesenv iaduct. This can also be crossed on a footpath and thus becomes a special experience with a deep view.
