Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Coire à Disentis

Set off from the charming alpine city of Chur—the oldest city in Switzerland—and make your way toward the beautiful Benedictine monastery town of Disentis. This is a serious ride for those who love climbing! Over roughly 85 km, you’ll conquer over 3,500 meters of ascent. The route meanders through mountain valleys, past picturesque villages, and along quiet roads and tracks, giving you a taste of authentic Swiss landscapes.

Most of your journey (over 75%) rolls out on smooth tarmac, but be ready for some gravel sections—perfect for riders who like a bit of adventure in the mix. With steep ascents and thrilling descents, the ride crests at over 1,700 meters, offering panoramic alpine views and lush forest stretches.

Chur’s historic old town is worth a stroll before you roll out, and when you arrive in Disentis, you’ll be rewarded by the impressive monastery perched above the Rhine Valley. If you’re looking for a challenging, scenic ride that links Swiss history and alpine beauty, this is your route!
