September 22, 2022,Vom Inntal (Samedan) nach Tirano über Berninapass

relatively easy tour without extreme climbs, the descent to Tirano without any counter climbs; Return journey with the Berninabahn another super experience. Change in Pontresina to Samedan.

June 7, 2024,2024/4 Pontresina-Posciavo ( mit Zug zurück bis Berninapass)

The attempt to get to Posciavo via the "Alp Grüm" bike route failed due to the snow just before the lake. So I took the road to Posciavo. I then took the train back up the impressive and varied route to the Bernina Pass and then mostly on trails back to Pontresina. Consequently, the data provided is not relevant.
