Description
On this route, you can count the meters in altitude with pride. The start is in pure nature through the wild and romantic Flüela Valley, which forms the link to the Engadin. From Susch, the route leads through Rhaeto-Romanic Engadin villages with the unique Engadin sgraffiti - scratched art made from lime plaster - on the walls of the houses. Not only are the villages worth seeing, but also the breathtaking landscape with the Upper Engadin lakes. At the top of the Engadin in Maloja, the winding roads begin. First over the Maloja Pass down into Bergell over the border to Chiavenna, then back up to the Splügen Pass. Look forward to tight hairpin bends and panoramic views as you cross the border between Switzerland and Italy.
You should treat yourself to a break in Chiavenna, the town center attracts visitors with its long history and typical restaurants. The dolce far niente atmosphere provides an atmospheric counterpoint to the chase around the bends and the gelato or espresso is a refreshing treat.
From Splügen, the tour continues through the Hinterrhein region with the imposing Viamala Gorge and through the castle-rich Domleschg to Thusis. From Thusis, the route continues to fascinate with gorges and bridges. You return to Davos via the Landwasser Valley.
Hidden Gem
