On the way to Engadin, I stopped in Bivio and did a bike & hike to Sur al Cant (2716 m). This mountain is a little bit further south than the Bivio ski area. It was blue skies all day, but quite windy. The view from Sur al Cant was great, even if the summit is not as high as many surrounding mountains. Route: By bike, from...

Cassonsgrat/Fil de Cassons is the highest area of Crap da Flem aka Flimserstein. The aerial cablecar to Cassons stopped operating a few years back, so now you either have to hike from Naraus or Bargis to get up there. I started off with the mountain bike around 10:15 AM in Flims, heading up towards Fidaz and then Bargis. At the...

For a long time I had planned to do a bike & hike from Laax to Bündner Vorab and Glarner Vorab, but due to other projects, it did not happen until today. When I last week saw photos from a friend's bike tour in the area, it again reminded me of my dormant plan. I started off around 7:30 AM from Laax. At the start, the...

Piz Forcellina (2938 m) is a mountain peak close to the Septimer pass. It is probably not visited very often, especially when compared to the neighboring peak Piz Turba. Start of the hike shortly after 9:00 in Bivio. I brought my mountain bike along. Going uphill, I partially biked, and partially walked the bike. The road to...

Gita Bike & Hike sul versante orografico sinistro della Valle Calanca, nel comune di Calanca, costituito nel 2015 grazie alla fusione di Arvigo, Braggio, Cauco e Selma. Malgrado la giornata di piena estate sia serena e calda (isoterma di 0°C alle nove a 4000 m) su questo versante il sole sorge tardi. Suggerisco quindi...

Escursione Bike & Hike in alta Val Calanca, una valle appartata, rimasta isolata per parecchio tempo dai traffici nord-sud. La sua storia è simile a quella di molte comunità montane, caratterizzate dal nomadismo stagionale e dalla migrazione temporanea. Ecco un estratto da “Quaderni Grigioni Italiano” risalente al...

Piz Arlos (2697 m) is a mountain peak just south of Savognin. So far it had only two hikr reports, so it's not that popular I suppose. But according to the summit book, it had actually been visited five times this summer. The peak P.2863, which is nearly 2 km further south, did not have any entries in the summit book for this...

This tour to Chrüz (2195 m) was a bike & hike with start and end in Schiers. Start of the tour at 8:30 AM in Schiers at the train station. I followed the road up to Stelserberg, partially biking and partially walking the bike (10 km distance, 1000 m elevation gain, average slope 10%). Near Stelsersee I parked my bike, and...

Mattjisch Horn (2460 m) has been described here on hikr.org a number of times already, but I think this is the first time as a bike & hike report. Start of the tour in Langwies shortly before 9:00 AM. I followed the forest road from Langwies all the way up to P.2079 (Seta), mostly walking the bike. The first 2.5 km of this...

Chirchli (2769 m) is a mountain peak which is probably unknown to most. But I enjoy hiking to peaks that are rather unknown, and where rarely anyone would go. This time it was even more extreme, because Chirchli is kind of far away from any starting point. As a bike & hike from Monbiel it is easily manageable as a day trip...

This hike covers the four peaks Stelli (2052 m), Brotjoggli (2115 m), Berger Calanda (2270 m), and last but not least Rossfallenspitz (2632 m). Start of the tour at 7:30 in the morning from St. Margrethenberg. First with the mountain bike on the paved road to Fürggli (P.1333 in the online maps). Then on the unpaved forest road...

Piz Piot (3052 m) and Piz Mäder (3000 m) are two mountain peaks which are quite far south of Bivio, but a day trip from Bivio is manageable when doing a bike & hike. There were already about 20 tour reports for Piz Piot, but this is the first one which does not start from Juf in Avers. Start of the hike at 8:30 in Bivio....

Piz Turba is a mountain at the border between the regions Avers, Bergell, and Oberhalbstein. Start of the hike at 8:20 in Bivio. The weather was perfect with blue skies! I brought my mountain bike along. Going uphill, I partially biked, and partially walked the bike. The road to the Septimer pass is paved for 1.5 km, the rest...

Piz Spegnas (2620 m) is a rather unknown peak approx. 2 km NE of Piz Arblatsch. So far there was only one report here on hikr.org about Piz Spegnas, and it's already six years old! I chose to start at P.1427 at the main road between Rona and Mulegns. It is possible to park right where the unpaved forest road up to Nascharegnas...

Piz Val Lunga (3077 m) is a peak which requires quite a long ascent/descent when you start from Tinizong or Savognin. Start of the hike just above the village of Tinizong at elevation 1320 m. I followed the alp road in direction Alp d'Err, mostly walking the bike. The road is paved up to Tgant Pensa. In Val d'Err I spotted...

Muchetta is a mountain east of and above the village Filisur. There is a white-red-white marked trail all the way from Filisur up to the summit, but this ascent implies a hefty 1600 m elevation gain. To at least make the descent a bit easier on the knees, I brought my mountain bike along. I mostly walked the bike uphill on the...

Tgapeala Cotschna is a peak above the village called Alvaneu Dorf. Until now it had only been been described twice here on hikr.org, and in both cases it was a ski tour. I started my hike just above the village Alvaneu Dorf at elevation 1250 m. There is a small parking lot at the end of the road. To drive further up, a special...

Piz Laviner (3137 m) is a peak which requires quite a long ascent/descent when you start from Tinizong or Savognin. But when making it a combination of bike & hike, it becomes much more manageable. Start of the hike just above the village of Tinizong at elevation 1320 m. I followed the alp road in direction Alp d'Err,...

Der sechsthöchste Gipfel der Silvretta hat zwei unterschiedliche Gesichter. Von der Prättigauerseite (Klosters / Vereina) kommt der Name Schwarzchopf, während auf der Engadinerseite das Firnfeld auf dem Gipfel gut zu sehen ist, was zum älteren Namen Chapütsch'alba geführt haben dürfte. Wenn die Sommer so bleiben wie im...

This hike covers the four peaks Motta da Sett (2637 m), Piz dal Sasc (2720 m), Piz Lunghin (2780 m), and Piz Grevasalvas (2932 m). During the ascent towardsPiz Grevasalvas, I tried out a new option for getting more easily up to the ridge between P.2724 and P.2794. During the descent from Piz Grevasalvas, I also tried out a new...
