Trail Tales

Summer is finally here, or at least in our regions. And that's exactly why the summer is so special and needs to be enjoyed well. For example, with a bike tour on the Crest da Tiarms.

Who is behind the next bend? What is behind the next rock? Will the front wheel hold up or not? Not knowing what to expect is one of the beauties of biking. The tour over the Durannapass is a classic.

1,300m over the roofs of Graubünden’s capitol Chur, a summit register is waiting for the adventurous bikers entries. Add a detour over Chur’s mountain range to your lengthy tour and enjoy.

We set off to the Engadine to ride a trail that deserves the name “epic” without any ifs and buts: the Hahnensee Trail.

Many things in life are urgent. And for us, this was to get on our mountain bikes and ride across Fimberpass.

On a trail, there are all kinds of things in the way. Why are we mountain bikers attracted so much by obstacles? To find out, we travelled to the Engadine, to ride Fuorcla Minor.

From every bike ride, we bring home photos, selfies and snapshots. These are the impressions we brought home from the trails of Piz Scalottas.

Panorama, what is it actually about? Why does it attract us so much? In Davos Klosters, we set out to search for an answer – and we found awe inspiring views and a never-ending trail.

Recipe for a Broad Smile: Take a cable car. 160mm of suspension. 2200 vertical meters of downhill. And a visit in one of Grison‘s most beautiful villages.

Wellness? For mountain bikers, the quickest way to feel well is a singletrack. And on our ride to Alp Clünas, high above Scuol, we found our very own path to relaxation.

Sentiero – it‘s a place name that promises adventure. We read about it on a signpost in the Puschlav. And it captured us. The search for this mystic place took us to lonely singletrack and special places.

It's not easy to resist the lure of the couch - but if you leave your comfort zone every now and then, you'll be rewarded with great experiences.

No fence. No street. No house. Only a single trail in the midst of untouched nature. Episode 07 of Trail Tales takes us through one of the last pieces of wilderness and on a tour of epic length.

A high-altitude post bus stop. A historic three thousand meter mountain. And at the very end - the smallest whiskey bar in the world. The tour to the Piz Umbrail in Val Müstair is exceptional.
