Uina-Bernina Bike Tour Stage 3: Livigno – Bernina – S-chanf

The route from Livigno to Forcola di Livigno (2316 m) runs on the new bike path as well as the pass road and is perfect for warming up. Then the route turns right off the pass road and follows the attractive «Val Minur Marmotta-Trail», which connects Forcola di Livigno with Forcola Minor, reaching its highest point at Motta Bianca (2561 m) and continuing to the Bernina Hospice.

The route to Poschiavo passes Lago Bianco (2234 m) to the starting point of the 1200-meter altitude singletrail experience «Bernina-Express» to Poschiavo. The partly difficult trail (S2, partly large stone slabs) runs via Alp Grüm (2091 m), Cavaglia (1703 m) and Cadera (1461 m), crossing the railway line repeatedly. In Poschiavo (1014 m) it is worth having a coffee on the piazza and enjoying the Italian flair of the place before continuing with the Bernina railway. As an alternative, the «Poschiavino Trail» along the Poschiavino River is available.

From Poschiavo, the Rhaetian Railway climbs all the way back up to Bernina Suot station (2046 m) and further to Pontresina (1805 m). To reach the day’s destination, you have to change trains in Pontresina towards Scuol-Tarasp. Optional: The section from Bernina Suot past the Morteratsch Glacier to Pontresina (1805 m) can be completed by bike. Then continue on a gravel path to Punt Muragl (1738 m), past Engadin Airport to the stage destination S-chanf.
