Description

The ascent from Ardez via Munt to Alp Murtera is long but evenly steep. The biker is rewarded with diverse, colorful flower meadows and a huge view over Ardez and Guarda to the opposite Lower Engadine Dolomites. At Alp Sura, high above the Schellen-Ursli village of Guarda, at the entrance to Val Tuoi, a break is recommended before the descent to Guarda follows, and the route ends back in Ardez after the last section via Bos-cha.

Hidden Gem

Alp Sura is served during the summer grazing season.
