There is really good coffee

A bench with a wonderful view of Rueras and the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn railway line.

This monastery has something to offer, I even attended the service which was in German.

A place to linger

Scenic pass that is opened all year round (closes at 6pm in winter). There is hardly any traffic which makes cycling very nice and plenty of opportunities to take pictures. We crossed the pass in early May when there was still plenty of snow up there. The change in scenery where it was all green at Disentis and slowly turning white as we climbed higher... and very quickly turned to green as we rolled down on the south side to Biasca was breathtaking.

You reach the Lai da Nalps reservoir via a climb of around eight kilometers, which begins in Surrein, just on the other side of the valley from Sedrun. The climb begins with a steeper section and a few tight bends. After that, the road becomes more even, following the right side of the valley until finally, a few beautiful switchbacks lead up to the dam. You could cycle the two kilometers to the end of the lake on a gravel road, but after that, you're definitely not going any further on two wheels.

Because of the many tunnels, you should definitely have lights (which are mandatory anyway) mounted on the front and rear of your bike when riding over the Lukmanier Pass.

The Lucomagno is one of the most famous Alpine passes in Switzerland. It is located between the cantons of Ticino and Grisons, at an altitude of 1,926 meters. The name seems to derive from the Latin "locus magnus", meaning "large, open place". It is often tackled in the professional race of the Tour of Switzerland.
