Day 1: Julier Pass to Es-cha hut

The starting point of the "Graubünden Haute Route" is La Veduta just below the Julier Pass. If you arrive the evening before: You can also spend the night (and enjoy an excellent meal) at Ospizio La Veduta. The start is steep: after a short cross passage, you climb up the Val d'Agnel. The bike is usually pushed or carried. Against an impressive rocky backdrop, you climb up to Fuorcla d'Agnel, narrowly missing the 3,000-metre altitude mark. The upcoming descent into Val Bever is challenging, interspersed with short stretches of pushing in the upper section, but becomes smoother as the distance increases. You pass the Jenatsch hut and finally reach Alp Suvretta. There is a short stretch of gravel road before the next ascent begins. On the steep section up to Crap Alv, the bike has to be carried completely, and not everything is rideable on the descent to the Albula pass road behind. All in all, however, it is a rewarding and impressive passage to head into the third section of the day after the Albula Pass: The ascent and traverse to the Es-cha hut are completely rideable, albeit a little blocked just before the hut. However, the beer and dinner in the hut are well deserved without discussion.
Daily data: 33 km; 1820 m elevation gain; 1465 tm

Day 2: Es-cha hut to Grialetsch hut

The second day is déjà vu: once again the bike is on your shoulders right from the start, this time up to Fuorcla Pischa. Here the descent to Chants begins with a walk, but only for a few meters. Then the path becomes rideable and soon turns into a super trail through the middle of the fascinating landscape between Piz Üertsch and Piz Kesch. This is how you later reach the (steep) little road on which you climb up to the Keschhütte. We recommend a refreshment stop here, as you still have to cross over to the Grialetschhütte. Follow the path high above the Val Funtauna, a challenging section that can be bypassed by descending to the valley floor and then climbing to the Scalettapass. However, the Scaletta Pass is quickly mastered on the original route and the well-developed descent into the Dischma Valley is reached. The day isn't over yet: the ascent up to the hut is the next long section of the tour, but it is rewarded with the idyllic section along the Furggasee lake.
Daily data: 27 km; 1545 m elevation gain; 1600 tm

Day 3: Grialetsch hut to Klosters

The third day is the final stage of the "Haute Route Graubünden". It is also the shortest stage of the three-day tour and begins with the trail from the Grialetschhütte to the Flüelapass road. Here comes a novelty: the first asphalted ascent of the tour! This leads over a short stretch on the pass road to the hospice, before descending on the legendary Flüela Trail to the Wägerhaus on the opposite side. Now it gets tough again with the ascent to the Winterlücke. The trail is well maintained but practically impossible to ride uphill. Once again, you have to carry your bike. Instead, there is a brilliant descent to the Jöriseen lakes, very demanding and rocky, but exceptionally scenic. Then it's down to the Vereinhaus, initially steep, challenging but rideable, then the path becomes increasingly smooth. You have to ride down through the Vereina valley on the gravel road for a while (the marked trail is barely rideable) until the final trail turns off to the left at Stutzegg. Follow this down to the banks of the Landquart and follow it to the center of Klosters.
Daily data: 32 km; 800 m elevation gain; 2140 tm
