Voralpsee

The Voralpsee is idyllically situated high above Grabs in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley. It is a wonderful destination for mountain bikers, even if the proportion of single trails is limited.

Description

From the center of Grabs, ride uphill through the village and up the Grabserberg and Maienberg on the paved mountain road. At terrain point 1303 at Alp Gamperfin, you descend a few meters past the Kurhaus Voralp and reach the shore of Lake Voralp via a forest path. After a long break by the lake, head back to the Kurhaus, then on a short but crisp, rooty trail section to a gravel road, which you follow downhill for a while (due to a lack of trail alternatives). After the former Rogghalm inn, turn left onto a single trail that winds its way through the steep terrain. A reasonably practiced riding style is required here! In this way, you reach the edge of the forest and follow it downhill on a steep gravel road and finally on asphalt back to Grabs.

Alternatives: Various downhill options via the Maienberg and Grabserberg

I found the traverse from Rogghalm spectacular. Otherwise the tour runs on forest and tarred roads. I easily lost 500 meters just rolling down the road.
