Details

Description

The route starts on the beautiful panoramic mountain Piz Nair, which can be easily reached by cable car (including bike transport) from St. Moritz or Celerina. First, descend a section of the ski slope, then turn right to Fuorcla Schlattain and continue down the valley to Lej Alv. Here begins the ascent of about 300 vertical meters. At first, you can still ride, but after the turnoff at Trais Fluors, you have to push the bike and in the last part up to Fuorcla Valletta even carry it. Carrying the bike requires good fitness and sure-footedness. The descent is unique and makes up for the effort of the ascent! At the end of the valley, Alp Muntatsch awaits with delicious food and cool drinks. From Alp Muntatsch, an alpine path leads down to Samedan.
