Filisur | Ride MTB

The Albula Pass is considered one of the most idyllic mountain passes in Graubünden. The conventional bike route along the valley floor is beautiful but nothing out of the ordinary. However, if you climb up from the top of the pass to Fuorcla Zavretta and ride down to Bergün and on to Filisur, you will be treated to a real spectacle of nature and single trails.

When snow fails to arrive in the Grisons mountains in winter, magnificent and mostly dust-dry single trails await on the southern slopes of the Albula Valley. The tour from Wiesen to Alp Aclas and down to Filisur is one of the classics between Davos and Lenzerheide, which can often be ridden all year round – and is also great fun in summer.

Piz Ela is the mighty and well-known rocky outcrop between Bergün and Savognin. It can be circumnavigated by mountain bike, but requires a lot of strength for the ascent and a delicate riding technique for the descent. The landscape experience is all the more impressive for it.

The Albula Valley is the unpolished single trail diamond of Graubünden. The valley shows its best mountain bike side on the Haute Route.

The IMBA has added the route from Sertig to Filisur to its list of epic trails - and rightly so. The tour consists almost exclusively of flowing single trails and ends under the famous Landwasser Viaduct.

At the far end of the Sertig valley is an almost unknown singletrail highlight in Davos. The route from Bergün over the Ducanfurgga is one of the best and most beautiful things to do on a mountain bike in Central Grisons.

There are many hidden highlights in the Albula Valley that hardly anyone knows about. These include the rocky trail through the Schaftobel, which can easily compete with the Val d'Uina in the Lower Engadine. It is part of the world-class descent from Alp Era.
