On the three-day mountain bike hut tour through the alpine mountains of the Upper Engadine, two of the most extraordinary mountain houses are approached: the Hotel Belvédère near Alp Grüm high above the Val Poschiavo and the Varusch park hut at the entrance to the national park. In terms of trails, the bikepacking route with start in Preda and destination Bergün is also great. Thanks to the Albula Trail, the Bernina Express descent to Poschiavo or the Supertrail from the Chaschauna Pass, three of Graubünden's major trail highlights are on the agenda.

Description

The Upper Engadine has class. This applies not only to the glamorous hotels in St. Moritz or Pontresina, but also to the mountain houses. The Upper Engadine hut tour with start in Preda and destination Bergün is tackled independently as a bikepacking tour. The mountain lodges on the Bernina Pass and at the entrance to the National Park are among the most extraordinary and rustic places to stay overnight in the Upper Engadine and also know how to convince with culinary delights.

Fun single trails connect them, whereby the route is described in detail in the trail book and is ridden using the GPS tracks. The clothes and items necessary for the three-day hut tour can be stored in your own backpack. It is recommended to book the hut tour between Sunday and Thursday, as the mountain houses are often fully booked on weekends. In July and August, it is not possible to book with a tour start on Friday or Saturday.
