Stage 2: Upper Engadine hut tour

From Poschiavo you can take the post bus or the Rhaetian Railway back to the Bernina Pass. If you want to save energy, you don't go down to Poschiavo in the morning, but up to the Bernina Pass. From the Bernina Pass, you climb up to Fuorcla Minor on a well-developed single trail and then head down to Forcola di Livigno on an equally well-developed single trail.

Continue along the valley floor into the wide expanse of Livigno, staying to the right of the stream and reaching the village of Livigno in this way, primarily on single trails. In Livigno, a refreshment with pasta is the order of the day, because the Chaschauna Pass is still on the program. To do this, you climb up the Valle di Federia and then climb up the steep gravel road past the Rifugio Cassana to the Chaschauna pass.

The ascent is very steep, but very fit mountain bikers or those with motor support can get to the top by riding. For the descent, single trail fun is the order of the day: The path down into Val Chaschauna was specially designed for mountain bikers and is the perfect final piece of the second stage, which ends a little further down at the Varusch park hut.
