It's a well-known fact that you have to get up early to see sunrises. You have to get up even earlier if you want to marvel at it on the 3055-metre-high Piz Nair, like René Wildhaber and Oli Dorn. However, the two former enduro racers are allowed to take the cable car for this spectacle. Their muscle power is only required for the last few meters to the summit. After daybreak, however, dessert is served after breakfast. Because the real highlight for the two trail connoisseurs is the long trail descent from the summit down to Lej da Champfèr.

The downhill pass begins with a technical section. High alpine and rocky, the Piz Nair Trail winds its way through the steep terrain. The route continues via the Fuorcla Schlattain trail to Fuorcla Schlattain and then on to the Val Schlattain trail to the crystal-clear Lej Alv, the "white" mountain lake, before the Lej Alv trail leads them back to the Corviglia mountain station. The terrain becomes gentler and the trails smoother. The WM-Flow Trail offers plenty of riding fun, but above all a fantastic view of the Upper Engadin lake landscape. 

The destination, the Lej da Champfèr, is already in sight for Dorn and Wildhaber. But the tour is far from over. Concentration is required once again before reaching the cool water. The tour leads into the forest via the Suvretta da San Murezzan trail, after which the Foppettas flow trail with its waves and berms makes for a fun finish.
