The alternative routes

There is no bad weather.
If the weather forecast or other events do not allow the National Park Bike Marathon to be held on the original route, two attractive alternative routes are available. These also offer a lot of riding fun and biking at its best!

Route description

The alternative routes lead from the Lower Engadine to the Upper Engadine and then on the proven Putèr route from S-chanf back to Scuol. The highest point of the race is at 2000 m.a.s.l., so that the route can also be ridden in cold temperatures (and possible snowfall). The course lengths are also set in such a way that they are quite close to the original distances.
For the long distance the distance is about 109 km and 2800 m altitude difference (KMLGPX), for the middle distance about 78 km and 1800 m altitude difference   (KMLGPX).


The advantage of this route is that the OC can wait relatively long with the decision, because the signalization and organization of the route are not too complex. We are convinced that we can offer you an attractive alternative.
