On Saturday, June 17, the Flem Gravel Ride out takes you up high. The route through the Safiental valley and over the Tomül Pass is one of the most epic gravel routes in Graubünden. Before the sweat-inducing climb up to 2400 m.a.s.l., there is a caffeine boost with the best coffee and a breathtaking panorama on the pass.

On Sunday, it's time to roll out on a self-guided tour, while there are new skills to learn at the barista workshop. In the La Marzocco workshops, participants learn how to properly extract an espresso, pour milk into beautiful latte art or roast coffee beans. At the Flem Lodge, you can not only improve your coffee skills this weekend, but also test the latest Specialized bikes and round off the day with a cosy BBQ and music.

After the ride, you can talk shop over a cup of coffee or a cool blonde and plan future adventures with like-minded people. The Flem Mountain Lodge in the heart of Flims offers the perfect starting point for this. The hosts Anita and Caro Gehrig are professional mountain bikers and have already experienced a lot on their gravel bikes. Now they are bringing gravel biking to their home town of Flims; in the alpine region around Flims, the possibilities are almost limitless.

At the same time, participants can do something good and bid for an exclusive custom-painted "Coffee Theme" Specialized Crux frame. The proceeds will go to the three organizations Outride, Protect our Winters and Songwa Farm Project.
