Description

The route from Livigno to the Forcola di Livigno (2316 m) runs along the new bike path and the pass road and is ideal for rolling in. The route continues to the right from the pass road and follows the attractive "Val Minur Marmotta Trail", which connects the Forcola di Livigno with the Forcola Minor, which reaches the highest point at the Motta Bianca (2561 m) and continues to the Ospizio Bernina.

The route to Poschiavo leads past Lago Bianco (2234 m) to the starting point of the 1200-metre "Bernina Express" single trail experience to Poschiavo. The sometimes difficult trail (S2, partly large stone slabs) runs via Alp Grüm (2091 m), Cavaglia (1703 m) and Cadera (1461 m), crossing the railway line again and again. In Poschiavo (1014 m) it is worth drinking a coffee in the piazza and enjoying the Italian flair of the place before starting the ride on the Bernina railway. An alternative to the "Poschiavino Trail" along the Poschiavino is a good choice.

From Poschiavo, the Rhaetian Railway takes you back up the entire altitude to Bernina Suot station (2046 m) and on to Pontresina (1805 m). In order to get to the place of the day's destination, you have to change to the train in Pontresina in the direction of Scuol-Tarasp. Optionally, this route can be covered by bike from Bernina Suot past the Morteratsch Glacier to Pontresina (1805 m). Then continue on a gravel road to Punt Muragl (1738 m), past the Engadin Airport to the stage destination S-chanf.

Geheimtipp

Due to the numerous alternatives (Poschiavino Trail or Bernina Express Single Trail, departure from Bernina or Pontresina by bike or by train), detailed route planning is indispensable. It is strongly recommended to take maps with you.
