Mountain biking in Pontresina, the Engadine

Tour Tip: Bernina Express including uphill trail

Named after the legendary Rhaetian Railway train, this impressive tour stretches over the Bernina Pass, past streams and glaciers – and impressive views of the Bernina Range. At the pass, turn left past the Lago Bianco, before reaching the single trail descent to Valposchiavo. After just a few metres you can already smell the southern climate and the different vegetation. The terrace of the Belvedere restaurant and the buffet at Alp Grüm station invite you to take a break. From Cavaglia, bikers have a choice: either take the signposted route over gravel and asphalt roads or choose a more sophisticated trail along the railway tracks. From Poscchiavo back to the Bernina Pass, it’s best to take the Rhaetian Railway. A flowy downhill from Bernina Pass to Pontresina is the culmination of this daytrip. By the way, Pontresina has grasped the opportunity, at God Chapütschöl, to split the uphill and downhill trails. While the downhill trail is marked by rhythmic bumps and smooth berms, the uphill one meanders its way through a picturesque forest in a regular sequence of turns and a variety of steep ascents. It is the Engadine's first uphill trail specifically adjusted to going up. Download the route map
