Sils - Maloja - Isola - Sils (E-Mountainbike)

This route goes uphill from the start! Behind the Hotel Maria in Sils Maria, the trail leads up into the fragrant mountain forest to the front of Val Fex. After passing through the pretty hamlet of Fex Platta, you can let the bikes roll downhill a little towards Val Fedoz again. The overwhelming view of the blue Lake Sils accompanies you on your ride over the Petpreir and Ca d'Starnam alp pastures to Plan Brüsciabräga on the shore of the largest lake in Graubünden. From there, you cycle comfortably on the alpine road to the mountain pass village of Maloja, where a small detour through the nature reserve to the Belvedere Tower is worthwhile.

On the way to this tower, you will discover ice age relics at the edge of the path: the impressive glacial potholes. The Belvedere Tower itself scores with a spectacular view over Bergell and the surrounding alpine world. The same route you came by leads you back, past the campsite and through the bright larch forest to the idyllic hamlet of Isola, which lies on the edge of the large delta directly at the exit of the Fedoz gorge. After crossing the Ova da Fedoz, the winding hiking trail climbs steeply and leads you back into Val Fex. In the valley basin of Vaüglia, the carriage road ascends again before you can race down past the imposing historic Hotel Waldhaus through God Laret directly into the village center of Sils Maria.
