Maloja Express
Description
The start of the tour is a little sobering because you initially ride down the main road into Bergell. Although there is a trail option, it is extremely difficult and even unrideable in places. Due to a lack of alternatives, the first 300 meters of altitude are "destroyed" in traffic. Then you reach the first level and turn left here, leaving the traffic for the rest of the route.
The route now takes you through the entire Bregaglia Valley on a mix of trails, gravel paths and asphalt sections. The route is officially signposted, but this version has a few additional trails. The difficulty is in the S1 range up to the Swiss border. At Castasegna, you switch to Italian territory and follow the signposted cycle path. This rides down to Chiavenna. In this version, you climb a few meters just below Villa di Chiavanna to add a really crisp section after the easy trails of the route. If you want to skip this, stay on the cycle route.
This is how you reach Chiavenna, where a detour to the picturesque old town is worthwhile. Then roll to the train station, hang your bike on the rear rack of the Postbus and let it ride you back to Maloja.
