LOCATION: VAL MUSTAIR (CH) RIDE DISTANCE: 100 km, 70 mi ELEVATION: 2000m, 6500 ft DETAILS: Let’s be honest - today is why you’re here. Stelvio. Switchbacks after switchbacks. The G.O.A.T. and highest paved mountain pass in Europe. We leave in the early morning to ride down the valley of mustair, passing a UNESCO-heritage historic monastery, and cross into Italy at the bottom of the valley. After a short flat(ish) last warm up, the climb up Stelvio begins. Once you have earned your bucket list tick, we descend on the other side, and also add the Umbrail Pass to the collection with just a short saddle, so two passes for the effort of (almost) one.

LOCATION: Brienz, Switzerland RIDE DISTANCE:ELEVATION:DETAILS: We would like to call this a hidden gem, but it’s in plain sight. One of our founders’ favorite passes, full stop. The pass road is closed for car traffic, and it gets more spectacular after every turn. The descent goes to Grindelwald and its century-old alpine history with some of the world’s most famous mountain faces, before we return to Brienz along pristine lake Brienz

LOCATION: Andermatt, Switzerland RIDE DISTANCE:ELEVATION:DETAILS: Grimsel is a perfect mix of sights and effort in its own. Long, but never overly steep, the road straddles along gorges and waterfalls, sometimes car free and on short cobble stone sections - before we descend on Switzerland’s most fun descent to Gletsch. After this we climb Furka on the other side of the valley, with famous historic hotel Belvedere sitting in a hairpin close to the top. The ride down to Andermatt is more technical.
LOCATION: VAL MUSTAIR (CH) RIDE DISTANCE: up to you! ELEVATION: up to you! DETAILS: After yesterday, let’s see how you feel! Maybe ride Stelvio from the other (Swiss) side? Go to the spa in Bormio (IT), or check out the historic monastery in Val Müstair and cross the border to eat Gelato in Italy? Up to you. We also keep this day as a reserve in case the weather did not allow for Stelvio on Day 3.

LOCATION: Andermatt, Switzerland RIDE DISTANCE:ELEVATION:DETAILS: Today we climb Gotthard. Twice. Once from the North on the historic Gotthard pass road, and then from the South over the famous Tremola road. Did we mention cobble stones? Did we mention quasi car-free? If you thought it can’t get better after all these other days - well - it just might!
