Engadiner Seentour
Description
After Pontresina train station, the cold start takes you straight up the mountain to the forest clearing near Lake Staz and on to the idyllic Alp da Staz. The first descent begins here, riding to the edge of the forest at the Ova Verva sports pool in St. Moritz Bad. And again it's time to shift into an easier gear. The route leads to the Olympic ski jump, then past the small Zuppò lake, later you pass the valley station of the Corvatsch cable cars and now follow the signposted route of the Alpine Route (number 1). This rides via Alp Surlej and Alp Präsüra to Sils-Maria. The return journey begins here. To do this, follow the shore path of Lake Silvaplana to Surlej, ride up to Lej Nair and finally downhill via Lej Marsch to St. Moritz Bad. Return to Pontresina along Lake St. Moritz, pass Lake Staz and reach the Punt Muragl-Staz train station. You return to Pontresina along the signposted mountain bike route. By the way: you pass no fewer than eight lakes on this tour!

Depending on the time of year and time of day, there are already a lot of hikers and cyclists and also a few bikers ;-)
Beautiful tour along the various lakes. Unfortunately, there are only a few single trails at the beginning, but over time it becomes more of a bike tour. Although there are some steep climbs at the beginning of the tour.
At waypoint 584 along Lake St. Moritz there is a very strict cycling ban. In view of the many walkers on nice days, this probably makes sense. It is better to turn right and follow the cycle signpost behind the hill until you turn back onto the GPS route at waypoint 601. Here too - simply in the opposite direction - there is another clear ban on bikes.
As my first biking experience in the Engadin went very well between hikers and bikers, the few bike bans should also be observed. This should be in everyone's interest.
