Biking Holidays Alpine Bike Graubünden

Luggage drop-off in Scuol-Tarasp. Stunning ascent through the unspoilt Val S-charl on the eastern edge of the National Park, past the quaint hamlet of S-charl and Europe’s highest Swiss stone pine forest. Single trail through mountain pines just before the Pass da Costainas, later through larch woods, over the Lü sun terrace into Münstertal.

Ascent through airy larch woods into the mystic Val Mora: a heavenly high valley, one of the most stunning in Switzerland. A Canadian wilderness seems close enough to touch. Stony trail down into Italy, lovely route alongside shimmering lakes.

The route back into Switzerland includes three passes, but only one real climb. From the Bernina pass downwards, the ride is fun and easy, through mountain pastures and larch forests, beneath the magnificent glacier backdrop of Piz Palü and Piz Bernina on to St. Moritz.

Scenic, unsurfaced trail alongside the Upper Engadine lakes, lovely single trail with wide views above Isola. From Val Bregaglia, an old mule trail leads over the Septimerpass, demanding; even the best bikers give their all. Carrying passages unavoidable here.

Zippy forest trail out of the valley, testing ascent at Sur, quiet section along the Roman Septimer route on a terrace high above the valley floor, excellent single trail with spectacular views.

Short single trail through the rugged Albulatobel up to Mistail church, tunnel and uneven rooted trail to Muldain, high over the gorge of the Albula, long ascent to Glaspass, downhill bliss for experienced bikers then on an old mule track to Safien Platz.

Biking in the tracks of the Walser settlers: easy start through mystic Safiental, steep ascent on the «Polenweg» to the Tomülpass, a biking highlight, great descent to Vals. And to finish, a peaceful pedal in the remote Val Lumnezia.

Long ascent from peaceful Val Lumnezia to Alp Sezner. The descent into Surselva on easy meadow trails is like flying. From Trun an almost effortless pedal in shady meadow woodland along the Vorderrheins with its shingle banks and islands.

The ascent to Uaul Cavorgia is perspiration producing but rewarding in terms of flora and views. Sparser in Val Maighels on the way up to the Oberalppass then truly high-Alpine. The terrific single trail demands top biking techniques. After arriving in Andermatt luggage pick-up and departure.
