Fanezfurgga
Description
The ascent to Fanezfurgga usually starts at the Rinerhorn mountain station near Davos. Although the ascent can also be tackled under your own steam, the climb to Furgga still requires plenty of energy. The first section of the tour follows the "Alps Epic Trail Davos" to Hauderalp and Oberalp above Monstein. This single trail is part of the legendary and award-winning route, but at Oberalp the fun is over for now. A steep path leads to Alp Fanezmeder, up to here you can usually still ride, but the remaining 400 meters in altitude to Fanezfurgga you just push your bike. However, the scenery on the Furgga is magnificent, rugged, alpine, and there is rarely a soul to be seen here. Even better than the view is the singletrail down to Sertig. A narrow flow trail winds its way through the wild and romantic Ducantal valley. Finally you reach Sertig Dörfli with its two inns. Return to Davos on the well-known bike route on the right-hand side of the valley via Clavadel.

One of the most scenic tours I've ever ridden. Despite the long pushing/carrying passages uphill, the tour is definitely worthwhile. Absolutely recommendable. The descent is not demanding and less steep, but also highly recommended here. Away from the hustle and bustle.
I extended the tour a little by starting on the Jakobshorn. The trails to Sertig Dörfli are very well done, exactly to my taste, i.e. they are not too heavily shaped. From Sertig Dörfli up to Äbirügg, the Davos trail crew did a great job; the trail was separated from the hikers for almost the entire length and almost everything was rideable for me. I then continued on the Epic Trail to Oberalp, this section is also very well done. From Oberalp onwards, I had to do more or less everything on foot. There were a few sections where I was able to ride. With an e-bike you could certainly ride to Fanezmeder, but it has about a 10 min carry passage. The landscape is also very beautiful on foot and the trails from Fanezfurgga are simply sensational and all rideable. You almost have to force yourself to take a short break to enjoy the scenery.

Super tour, as described. The ascent should not be underestimated
The descent to Sertig is currently closed due to falling rocks! Made the descent to Filisur. Did the tour with a normal and e-bike. The 3 steep gradients are difficult with the e-bike, but it works well with the push mode, so you can ride a lot more uphill.
Super tour. I didn't think the trail to Oberalp was so great. Possibly also because it was quite slippery after heavy rain the day before. Probably also for this reason, the ascent was probably a lot more strenuous than normal. Nevertheless, some of the ascent from Oberalp could be mastered by riding. I found the first third almost the most strenuous - but it was definitely worth it.
The view is top notch. The descent from Fanezfurgga too ;)
Also yes, towards the end of the tour there is a section where a bike ban is posted. It's an E-MTB Uphill Tail :-D When I read this sign, an older female hiker from Davos approached me and told me that there were still lots of bikers tackling the trail downhill. No sooner said than done. I saw 0 e-bikers.
Checked, yesterday. I would give the Panorama 6 stars :-)
I rode the tour on July 01, 18. As soon as it goes up from Oberalp, you are almost alone on the road and can really enjoy nature and the trails. The last 400 vertical meters are indeed quite steep and before the Fanezfurgga you even have to carry your bike. You are then rewarded by the single trail through the Ducantal valley down to Sertig. The route then takes you over flowing trails above the Sertig valley via Clavadel back to Davos. Finish off with a portion of fries in the Bogen Plaza and a cool Calanda. What more could a biker's heart want?
