Biketicket 2 Ride Red Tour Map

Purchasing a Biketicket 2 Ride will give you access to this incredible circuit of superb mountain bike trails spread between Lenzerheide and Chur. While there are both more challenging options and less challenging options available, the Red Tour mapped here is relatively approachable for upper intermediate and low advanced riders, without being too insane. It more or less follows the same general formula of the Blue tour, but utilizes steeper, more technical trails.

Description

The route begins in the Piz Scalottas zone, and descends down the mountainside toward Churwalden. The views from this side of the valley are stunning, with mountains spread out in all directions! While many of the trails on this mountainside are technical, some of them are more approachable than those on the east side of Lenzerheide.

Eventually, the route winds its way down the valley all the way to the town of Chur—the route’s low point. This is a great spot to stop for lunch.

From Chur, a two-lift combo gets riders back up the mountain. Another descent brings riders to Churwalden, and another lift ride up.

Another descent down brings riders all the way back to the Piz Scalottas zone on the west side of Lenzerheide. If you still haven’t had enough shredding by now, you can easily add in more lift rides in the Piz Scalottas zone.

The Bike Ticket 2 Ride Tour is "epic" in every sense of the word. Buy your ticket now.
