SPELUCA's top routes
A classic pass
From Splügen, the route initially leads leisurely to Hinterrhein before the legendary San Bernardino Pass begins. The even gradient and the many hairpin bends make the ascent to 2,066 metres a highlight. Once at the top, the historic Ospizio and the small lake invite you to take a well-earned rest. Afterwards, the ride back down into the valley to Splügen is almost automatic.
From Splügen to the top of the pass
If you start in Splügen, you have around 9 km and 650 metres of altitude ahead of you. The average gradient is over 7%, with a maximum of 11%. The ascent is even and allows you to find your stride.
Tip: At the top of the Splügen Pass, a short detour to the Italian Monte Spluga is worthwhile. An espresso, Italian mountain flair and the view of the surrounding peaks make the tour unforgettable – before heading back to Splügen.
Up to the highest village in Europe
From Splügen, this scenic tour initially leads downhill towards Andeer. Shortly before the Rofflaschlucht, the route branches off into the remote Val Ferrera. The path winds steadily uphill, past Ausser- and Innerferrera into the rustic high valley of Avers. The destination: Juf, at 2,126 metres above sea level, the highest settlement in Europe that is inhabited all year round.
Tip: Numerous small refreshment stops make the journey even more enjoyable.
