Along the Mapragg reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The reservoir is certainly not a gem. This site is much nicer (dirt road and singletrack) than the other side (driveway)

Beautiful valley! As you go up the slope becomes more and more difficult, but it is definitely worth it!

With e-support, the steep climb from Tamins is no problem at all. It is definitely better than having to brake all the way down... (the rear descent to Vättis is then much less steep and therefore not as brake-intensive).
So with "Bio" it is better to approach from the north, with "e" it is better to approach from the south...

Once again made the Kunkelpass. I almost like it better in autumn than in summer.

Today I went in search of traces of the "Walser" in the Swiss Calfeisental. Since it was supposed to be a hot day, I started early. I parked at the valley station of the Pizol cable car.
