Steep is cool. This motto applies to the descent from Muttner Höchi to Thusis. On the map, the route seems unrideable, but the reality is different: The crisp singletrail descent is an impressive experience for good riding technicians.

Description

In Thusis, you first get on the train and ride up to Tiefencastel. Now continue on the country road to Stierva. A gravel path, then a singletrail now leads to the road to Mutten. Follow this to the village and continue climbing to Obermutten. The highest point is reached here. Keep right onto a gravel road and you will soon reach the singletrail down towards Thusis. The trail leads through the steep terrain to Crocs and then zigzags steeply to the vicinity of Terneras. Good riders can ride the tricky trail all the way. Far below, you pass the tunnel gate of the main road and continue primarily on single trails to Sils. From here, you return to Thusis via the Rhine.

Really very technical trail. Lots of tight hairpin bends. Also always very steep downhill next to the trail. So more or less no mistakes allowed, otherwise you are very quickly at the bottom.
First part rideable, slightly blocked by trees. Second section I had to dismount from time to time around the bends, the risk of crashing was too great. The third section was then smoother and nice again, but still technical.
The whole trail took a lot of concentration. Otherwise good.
