    Small, very rocky section of Via Mala from Thusis up the Hinterrhein.

      Via Mala is a notorious, eight-kilometer section of the trail along the Hinterrhein between Thusis and Zillis-Reischen in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

        absolutely, an imposing gorge where the Hinter-Rhein flows deep down. The name of the ViaMala comes from the first road that was carved into the rock above the gorge. This road is closed to traffic, but from Thusis you can also ride this "hiking trail" by racing bike.

                The ride through the famous Via Mala Gorge is a true highlight for road cyclists. The narrow, winding road winds spectacularly between steep rock faces, combining a challenging ride with impressive scenery. The asphalt is well-ridable, but you should expect tight bends, changing light, and heavy traffic—so it's best to ride in the early morning or late afternoon. A quick stop at the viewpoints is worthwhile to experience the magnificent views down into the gorge.
