To cycle to Chur I decided to avoid the direct way along the Zürichsee but instead to follow parts of the cycling path 32 from Veloland Schweiz. I was baff. It’s a very well chosen track away from large roads only minutes away from the city of Zurich! Awesome!
The part between Pfäffikon and Niederurnen has nothing very interesting but as it’s flat you can enhance your average speed on that part
The path along the Walensee is just great. Great sceneries, funny (very cold) tunnels, switching from side to side of the highway. Unfortunately you have to deal with some unpaved parts, there is no way to bypass it. But it’s worth it!
After Mels I started to get a horrible head wind (Föhn). The average speed enhancement was over! I decided to take the train not until Landquart (originally I wanted to cycle until Chur), to know the true promise of the region between Maienfeld, Jenins and Malans. Fantastic vineyards and very small villages. Great!!!
I really recommend that track. I loved it! Be sure not to go too fast using all your energy at the beginning though!
