My tip for Trekking Engadine
„Everything's just right here. I wanted to put together an alpine crossing for trekking bikes through the great Engadine landscape. However, it was important that the route not be too difficult or have too much elevation gain. The guests have also been more than enthusiastic so far. Spectacular mountain scenery and great hotels – what more could you ask for?“
