Durannapass

Grüensee (Durannapass)

The Duranna Pass is one of the great mountain bike classics in Graubünden - and rightly so in combination with the Strela Pass. The tour is also feasible for less experienced single trail riders and offers a wonderful mix of scenery, trails and culture.


Description

From Davos, the route follows forest roads up to Schatzalp, on to Strelaalp and then along an increasingly steep alpine road to the Strela Pass. This is where the first descent begins. It leads down to Sapün on a challenging single trail. From there, the descent continues on a gravel road down to Langwies, where the next long but pleasant climb begins to the settlement of Strassberg and on to the idyllic Grünsee lake right by the Durannapass. A fun path now leads across the plateau and then down to Untersäss on a small alpine road, where you have the option of descending on a rough single trail. Just below Untersäss, turn right and follow a trail to the valley station of the Schiferbahn cable car. A gravel road now leads to Serneuser Schwendi and from there largely along the railroad line to Laret. There is one last steep section to master before finally reaching the Wolfgang Pass on the outskirts of Davos. Note: The route is fully signposted as Route 631 (Durannapass-Strelapass).

Tip:

  • The long ascent from Davos to the Strelapass can be covered with the Parsenn cable car. From the Weissfluhjoch, a rapid descent leads through the Haupter Täli via the rocky path to the Strelapass.
  • Pack your swimming trunks and take a refreshing dip in the Grüensee at the Durannapass.

Rode today. If you don't want to do any special fitness training, it's best to ride down from the Weissfluhjoch to the Strelapass. A beautiful tour in terms of scenery. However, the amount of singletrack is relatively small: about half from the Strelapass to Langwies and a relatively small part after the Durannapass. The rest is gravel road. You can also take the train back to Davos from Cavadürli.
