Albula Wintertour
Description
Ideally, you should start the tour at Wiesen station and head onto the first trail just above the station, a high-level trail in the direction of Schmitten. After a first crisp descent, you climb up a gravel road and finally ride around the village of Schmitten on the south side. Now follow the official bike route for a few meters until you turn left onto a singletrail halfway to Alvaneu and reach the village on a trail from below. The actual ascent awaits, riding up a gravel road to Alp Aclas Davains and then to a crossing in the forest to the east of the group of houses. The highest point is reached here, and there is often a little snow in this shady spot. However, this is gone again at the latest when the downhill trail merges into the southern slopes of Alvaneu. You hurtle downhill at a good pace, pass the ascent route, then a forest clearing and finally find yourself back in Alvaneu. You then climb along the road up to Schmitten, where the next descent begins. This initially follows a gravel path, later turns into a singletrail and finally ends not far from the famous Landwasser viaduct below Filisur. Now take the road up to the train station and take the train back to Wiesen.
Option: On the return journey in Schmitten, do not ride down to Filisur but continue along the road to Wiesen. A wonderful singletrail to the main road to Davos begins here on the plateau to the east of the village. Via the Bärentritt you roll back to Wiesen station on trails in this way.

Rode the tour on 22.4.23, despite rain/snow two days before, the trails were dry thanks to the southern exposure, except after Acla Davains (between kilometers 13 and 14) there is still snow and so carrying is the order of the day
Still had too much snow today 17.5.19 (from about 1700m). Better to wait another 1-2 weeks...
