Trail tip for the weekend: Alp Mora

Goodbye snow! Thanks to the first big heat, tours in alpine terrain are finally possible, although this also increases the risk of thunderstorms. Ride recommends the Alp Mora tour from Trin to Chur for the more stable Saturday, with first-class single trails and great views.

The snow is now quickly moving to the higher altitudes, making tours up to around 2,200 m above sea level possible. However, the hot weather also brings with it a higher risk of thunderstorms, which will only increase in the east on Saturday afternoon. The tour from Trin via Alp Mora is therefore the ideal day's program. The trails on the route have to be well earned, as the alpine transition that rides down into the wild, beautiful Bargistal valley requires a climb of 1,300 meters. The reward is a magnificent view over the Surselva, Domleschg and the majestic mountain peaks of the Sardona Tectonic Arena.

The snow report says that the trails are clear, apart from a few small patches on the final ascent, which is usually done on foot anyway. These patches of snow should also be history by Saturday. The descent offers flow, but requires some technical riding skills. Once you arrive in Bargis, you can take a break at the Berghaus Bargis. The route then leads back to Chur via Trin Mulin, Tamins and Felsberg.

Tip: If you are very experienced and still have some energy left, take the trail to Fidaz and ride via Flims Forest to Lake Cresta and treat yourself to a cool down. Then head back to Trin Mulin on the original route. Be careful, there are lots of people in the Flims forest at the weekend.
