Devils Ride Engadin

Fuorcla Schlattein

The descent from Piz Nair via Fuorcla Schlattain is one of the classic trails in the Engadin and is also known as the "Devils Ride." In this version, the descent is combined with another classic: the Trais-Fluors descent.

Description

The descent starts at the Piz Nair mountain station and rides straight down the legendary trail to Fuorcla Schlattain with its characteristic red-colored rock. From Fuorcla, you follow a beautifully constructed trail through the wild Schlattain Valley towards the large reservoir lake of Corviglia. Before the lake, keep left and you will reach the very steep gravel road up to Trais Fluors. With an e-mountain bike, you can ride the ascent without motor assistance, but the 300 meters of elevation gain are a real feat of strength – which is absolutely worth it, however. The view from Trais Fluors of the Upper Engadine? Sensational! The same goes for the single trail descent that follows: an absolute dream trail down to Alp Muntatsch.At Alp Muntatsch, leave the gravel road on your right and take the trail that starts right at the alp and winds its way through the forest to the outskirts of Bever. Ideally, you should end this magnificent descent on the terrace of the Bever Lodge opposite the train station.

Wow, I'm still blown away. I rode the trail today—it was absolutely amazing! For me, singletrack like this is the very essence of mountain biking. I’d also like to give a big shout-out to the author—not only for the route selection, but also for the tour description. That’s exactly how it should be; you know right away what you’re getting into.
