Insider tip: The trails in the Albula Valley are already in perfect condition

Want to hit some great Alpine trails in April? Usually, the snow still puts a damper on things. But in the Albula Valley between Davos and Lenzerheide, many trails are already in great shape thanks to the area’s unique climate. Need a little inspiration for the coming weekend?

While winter operations are in full swing in the nearby towns of Davos and Lenzerheide in the spring, the Albulatal valley often already offers ideal MTB conditions. That’s why Ride offers the “Albula Winter Tour,” which combines the best trails that are accessible early in the season. Tip for the full experience: Go ski touring on the Flüela Pass in the morning, then hit the trails in the Albula Valley in the afternoon.

When the snow is slow to arrive in the Grisons mountains in winter, the southern slopes of the Albula Valley offer magnificent and mostly bone-dry singletrack trails. The route from Wiesen to Alp Aclas and down to Filisur is one of the classic trails between Davos and Lenzerheide, which can be ridden in early summer.
