    Wunderschöne Tour! Die Aussichten sind einfach Top. Die Etappen 1 und 3 sind lang und anspruchsvoll! Spezill die Etappe 3 vom Turrahaus nach Wergenstein hat einige sehr steile Stellen und erfordert Trittsicherheit. Für Etappe 1 empfehle ich den Bus ab Wergenstein bis zum PP, da der erste Teil einfach der Strasse nach geht. Der schöne Teil beginnt ab dem PP Richtung Carnusapass. Ich habe leichte Höhenangst, konnte die gesamte Tour aber gut bewältigen. Die Gasthäuser Turrahaus und Beverin sind beide komfortabel, gut gelegen und haben nette Gastgeber. Hotel Capricorn in Wergenstein war mein Favorit!

    Eine schöne, abwechslungsreiche Wanderung: Erst der Waldweg zum Caumasee, dann der Aussichtsturm über der Rheinschlucht und schließlich ein längerer Pfad hinauf zum Zielpunkt. Hat uns echt gut gefallen!

    Der Stein ist sehr eindrücklich! Allerdings ist der Abstieg von zwischen 5-10 Minuten ziemlich beschwerlich und auch rutschig bei Regenwetter. Trotzdem, es lohnt sich! Es geht hinunter vom Weg auf dem markierten Alpinen Wanderweg.

    Ich habe die Tour heute mit einem light E-Bike gemacht (und benötigte für interessierte 2:15 Std.). Es ist eine sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour, die sehr gut auch mit einem E-Bike gefahren werden kann. Vom Schwierigkeitsgrad ist es viel mehr eine S2, es hat drei kurze Abschnitte (jeweils 5-8 Meter) die einer S3 entsprechen. Diese kann man aber sehr gut auch zu Fuss gehen. Vielen Dank den Erstellern 🙏🙏🙏

    Ich habe diese Wanderung gestern zum zweiten Mal gemacht. Dieses Mal habe ich die ersten Höhenmeter mit der Sesselbahn Burleun gemacht, und bin dann auf schönen schmalen Wegen auf die offizielle Route gekommen. Es lohnt sich, oben ins Hochtal hineinzuwandern. Der Gletscherbach hat zwischendurch sehr klares Wasser und immer wieder kleine Badewannen, die zum Baden einladen.

    Schöne MTB Tour. Entspricht der Beschreibung von Trail Hub. Ca. 200 Hm aufwärts schieben ist vermutlich für die meisten unumgänglich. Abwärts hat es wenig Schwierigkeiten. Einige male den Fuss runter nehmen oder über eine kurze Passage schieben ist sicher sinnvoll. Tolle Trails. Die Landschaft und der See sind eine gute Belohnung für die Mühe im Aufstieg und die Schiebestellen

    Sehr schöne und aussichtsreiche Wanderung von Brigels. Der Anstieg lässt sich mit der Sesselbahn gut verkürzen. Die Hütte ist sehr schön und wird von sehr netten Damen betrieben. Der Kuchen ist superlecker.
