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...

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...

Il Septimerpass o Passo del Settimo è un valico che collega le grigionesi Val Sursette e la Val Bregaglia. Fu utilizzato già in epoca romana per collegare Chiavenna, il Lago di Como e Milano con Coira, capitale della Rezia. L’escursione si svolge nel meraviglioso paesaggio del Parc Ela, il più grande parco naturale...

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...

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...

Start of the hike shortly after 9:00 in Bivio. It was still mostly cloudy, but the weather forecast predicted improving conditions, which also happened after noon. I brought my mountain bike along. Going uphill, I partially biked, and partially walked the bike. At the signpost Cadval, I parked the bike, and continued on the...

Herbstliche Berg-Bike-Rundtour über den urgeschichtlichen Pass zwischen Bivio und Bergell. Oberhalbstein-Bergell-Oberengadin. Die noch heute sichtbaren Kunstbauten (Trockenstützmauern, Weg- und Randplatten sowie Querabschläge) am Pass verleihen ihm einen besonderen Charme. Diese stammen aus dem Mittelalter. 1359 erwirkte der...

Die Wetteraussichten für den ersten Tag im Herbsturlaub für das Oberengadin waren aufgrund eines Mittelmeertiefs nicht so gut. Aus diesem Grund fuhr ich über den Julier hinüber nach Bivio dem Ausgangspunkt dieser Biketour. Dort angekommen wirkte das Wetter auch schon freundlicher, was sonst ja eher im Engadin zu finden ist....

Wunderbare Bike and Hike Woche im Engadin während der "Projektwoche Sport" an meinem Gymnasium. Von der ersten bis zur letzten Stunde schönes Wetter und die tolle Stimmung machten die Reise unvergesslich. Tag 1: Gestartet sind wir nach über vier Stunden ÖV-Anreise in Bivio, unterhalb des Julierpasses. Bereits in der ersten...

der septimerpass ist ein geschichtsträchtiger pass und verbindet die täler oberhalbstein und bergell. Dank der günstigen topographie war er bereits zu römerzeiten ein wichtiger übergang. Der gepflasterte weg ist auf der südseite noch sehr gut erhalten und ist besonders mit der pittoresken landschaft...
