Biketicket 2 Ride schwarz
Description
The tour can be started in Chur or Lenzerheide. If you start in Chur, take the gondola lift up to Brambrüesch. A mixture of single trails and forest roads then takes you down to Churwalden, where the next ascent by cable car awaits. This time it's the cable car up to Alp Stätz. The descent to Lenzerheide rides along the fun serpentine trail at Spoina. The ascent to Piz Scalottas is next, which you master with the chairlift. It's worth taking a break here, especially as the panorama of the Albula Valley and Domleschg is nowhere better. The descent is unparalleled singletrail fun and leads via Sporz back to the chairlift valley station. This is followed by the traverse through the village center to the valley station of the Rothorn cable car, from where you ride to the summit almost 1400 meters higher up. The descent over the Gredigs Fürggli through the Schafälpli valley is one of the region's great singletrail classics. The trail flows smoothly through the elongated high valley and is unparalleled fun. The last ascent of the day is in Innerarosa, this time to the Hörnlihütte. This is the starting point of the longest descent of the day. The final descent is something of a brilliant highlight of the tour. The route rides through the Urdentäli to Tschiertschen, then from Praden via Grida to Passugg and through a steep section of forest down to the sandy soil of Chur. You roll comfortably along the Chur-Arosa Railway to the station.

Rode the tour today. To the data in the description above: Ridden altitude meters are only 630m and not 930m. I have switched off at every train ride ;-). The rest of the information is correct. A few more comments on the tour:
1. the accusation that the GPX data would not match the riding experience, I can only partially confirm. It is no problem to ride the tour with this data. Because the canton of Graubünden is increasingly creating two trails in parallel for bikers and hikers, the somewhat older data is not always correct for a few kilometers. Especially after the Rothorn at Älplisee, the bike trail rides left over the hill and not down to the lake. This can easily be seen on SwitzerlandMobility (https://map.schweizmobil.ch/?lang=de&photos=yes&logo=yes&detours=yes&se…).
2 I would mark the difficulty of the tour mostly as "blue" with a little "red". But the last descent from the Hörnlihütte to Chur is a tough one. Above all because it has very steep counter-climbs and is technically in the "black" range. It is important not to think that the last descent is as smooth as all the others. After a long day, you need a lot of stamina at the end. If you don't feel up to it, I recommend taking the road from Ausserpraden to Passugg and then the right-hand hairpin bend into the valley.
I don't think the GPS track is correct. It's missing some sections.
So when I look at the tour here on the map and then download the gpx and it only partially matches.
