One of the big highlights of the beautiful Albula Pass. Very impressive and beautiful how the road winds along the rock. The gorge is quite deep and the view is breathtaking!

La Punt Chamues-ch

Highlight • Settlement

A short stop in La Punt is worthwhile. This is mainly due to the striking white house – the Chesa Merleda. This is a prominent example of Engadine architecture.

Julier Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

As the main traffic artery between the Upper Engadin and the rest of the world, the Julier Pass is quite busy, but remains open throughout the winter. The road passes 964 meters in altitude from Tiefencastel (851 m) to Silvaplana (1815 m).

Beautiful and relaxed day trip in the best weather and in a beautiful mountain setting. 2 more passes chopped off! Both easier than the others I've ridden. It was great fun. Very cool descents. At the end video presentation of my new racing bike, which I love immensely after just a few tours.
