Lukmanier Pass: Disentis - Biasca

Even during Roman times, the Lukmanier Pass (1914 m above sea level) was frequently used. It takes road cyclists from the monastery village of Disentis in Graubünden over Olivone to Biasca in the Canton of Ticino. Road cyclists will be thrilled by the vast Swiss stone pine forests, smelling of fresh resin, that they pass through on their ride. At the pass summit, one can try their luck fishing in the deep blue reservoir. The Lukmanier Pass is the only one of the eight Alpine passes in the Andermatt holiday region that remains open in winter. The journey through the valley along the winding road is idyllic and a unique experience. Surrounded by steep rock walls and forests, one enjoys the cool ride breeze. The same route can be taken back, or alternatively one can return to Disentis via the Gotthard Pass and Oberalp Pass. However, this is a major extension of the route.
