Starting point: Davos Dorg Train station
Trail type: XC (July - October)
Physical Fitness: 4 29Km may not sound much but 1400hm is...
Technical Difficulty: 4 (some tricky rock sections and switchbacks on descent, some tricky climbing).

Start out from Davos dorf by heading into town, round the one way sytem and turning left at the EGG bar into Dischmastrasse. Folow this to the start of the valley where you go past the Lumber yard, then turn left to In den Bulen. the trail is now sign posted.

After the climb (av 12%), the trail darts through to the Fluela valley by a short section of single track, leading to a fireroad. Then the trail heads up parallel with the river all the way to the Geust House at Tschuggen, good climb (ave 8%) but not technical.

Now begins the real ascent. At Tschuggen the trail leads through the guest houes garden past the little church. It is pretty hard going (ave 12%) with rocks and switchbacks to contend with until it hits a wider path around 2200hm

Once past the Pischa Berg station you follow nice rolling (and rocky) single track to the Horli where the trail cross the ridge and starts descending. At the top before the descent is a nice bench if like me you want to put some pads on and have lunch.

The descent is I think tricky with loose rocks, loose dirt and switchbacks, no jumping required though. Half way down you will be treaded to the most fabulous view of Davos the Parsenn and Klosters and a 180 degree panoramma. The best view of this area I've seen.

After the view point the trail got harder for me as it was quite overgrown and became a foot wide and about 1/2 foot sunken, made some corners hard. also hit my head on a few branches. Became quite hard to see more than a couple of meters of the actual trail.

The end of the trail was a nice fast run through some easy single track before coming onto a farmers 4x4 road, across the railwayline, round the lake and back to Davos Dorf.

Thoughts
This trail was about as much as I could handle, in fact slightly more, I could do maybe 75% of the climb and 80% of the downhill. I consider my self an XC rider of average ablity and fitness.

However I'm very glad I did it, it's 80% singletrail and I only saw 5 people during the entire ride. Plus the view of Davos - wow!

I also had an endo near the end due to a rather large hole / rock combo that I just didn't see - wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been slowing down to give way to two hikers, who, by the way, didn't stop or ask if I was ok as I lay sprawled across the track - they just stepped round me.....
