Supreme mountain biking in the alps
In the Alps, some of the most unusual and rustic mountain hotels have been combined into a "Hüttentour". The result is several three-day mountain bike tours, always a combination of single trail fun, romantic hut feeling and high-quality cuisine. After all, what could be better than enjoying the sunset at the top of the mountain after a mountain bike tour?
Hüttentour Dolomites – Sella
Many mountain bikers know the Sellaronda. With the hut-to-hut tour, it becomes a superlative. Grosso modo, the three-day hut tour also leads around the Sella massif, but also includes other highlights along the way. The starting point is Klausen in the Eisack Valley and the first day is dominated by the Langkofel. It forms the backdrop on the route from the Seiser Alm over to the Val di Fassa. You spend the night at the Rifugio Fredarola, where the long final ascent is easily shortened by taking the gondola lift. Opposite is the Marmolada glacier, which then takes center stage on the second day. On panoramic trails and little-known routes, you descend into the Val de Fodom and then climb up to the legendary Las Vegas hut in the Alta Badia region, the second stage destination. Here you have an excellent view of the Sella, which again forms the backdrop on the third day. If the Las Vegas hut is fully booked, we offer the beautiful Pralongià hut as an alternative. On the third day, many ascents are mastered with the mountain railroad, you reach Selva Gardena via the Gardena Pass and tackle the phenomenal final descent into the Isarco Valley at Resciesa high above the Gardena Valley.
Conclusion: A fantastic three-day tour with a mix of scenery, culinary delights, trails, athletic performance and mountain railway transport - the full mountain bike program!

Hüttentour Oberengadin
On the three-day Hüttentour through the alpine mountains of the Upper Engadine, two of the most extraordinary accommodations are visited: the hotel on Alp Grüm high above the Val Poschiavo or the Hotel Bernina Hospiz and the Parkhütte Varusch at the entrance to the national park. The bikepacking route, which starts in Preda and ends in Bergün, also has class when it comes to trails. Thanks to the Albula Trail, the Bernina Express descent to Poschiavo and the super trail from the Chaschauna Pass, three of the biggest singletrail highlights in Graubünden are on the agenda.
The Upper Engadin has class. This applies not only to the sophisticated hotels in St. Moritz or Pontresina, but also to the mountain huts.

The fug of the masses in a mountain hut is definitely a thing of the past. Because the new luxury is sophisticated simplicity. This is the essence of the Hüttentour: the carefully selected mountain huts offer exceptional culinary experiences, a combination of modern and historic architecture and warm hospitality. The only thing missing is a television - in the evening program, the crystal-clear starry sky is on.
The Hüttentour is also exceptional when it comes to mountain biking, as almost every farm in Graubünden has a single trail connection. The stages of the Hüttentour take in some of Graubünden's great trail classics as well as lesser-known regions. The Hüttentour is also suitable for e-mountain bikers, but experience on single trails is a prerequisite.
Simplicity is also a top priority on the Hüttentour on the bike. That's why all your luggage is in your rucksack for the three days. However, the selected huts are of hotel standard. On almost all stages, there is also the option of taking the PostBus or Rhaetian Railway to make some of the ascents easier.
The Bahnentour Oberengadin can also be easily completed on an e-mountain bike. However, experience in battery management is required to reach the stage destination on a single charge. Sockets are available in the huts to charge the battery. However, it is important to take your own charger with you.

Hüttentour Mittelbünden
On the three-day Hüttentour Mittelbünden, you pass through some of the most beautiful mountain villages in Graubünden and spend the night in two of the most extraordinary mountain huts: the Heimeli in the Walser village of Sapün near Arosa and the Berghaus Sulzfluh in St. Antönien. The bikepacking route starting in Chur and finishing in Landquart is also impressive when it comes to trails. Thanks to the section from Medergen to Sapün, the Durannapass with the descent to Küblis and the route from Stelser down to Prättigau, there are three really big but little-known singletrail highlights in Graubünden on the plan.
Mittelbünden is considered the unknown beauty of Grisons. Many people know the Schanfigg and Prättigau from driving through them, but some of the mountain bike gems of Grisons are located here. The Hüttentour Mittelbünden is a three-day mountain bike tour in the region between Chur, Arosa and Davos. The ascents are primarily tackled under your own steam and lead along well-maintained paths. The sections from Chur to Tschiertschen and from Küblis to St. Antönien are covered by post bus. The descents are mainly on flowing single trails, but experience in alpine mountain biking is an advantage.
The Hüttentour Mittelbünden is tackled independently as a bikepacking tour; luggage transport is not possible. However, the selected huts have hotel standards. The mountain hotels in Sapün and St. Antönien are some of the most unusual and rustic places to stay in Grisons and also offer impressive culinary delights. Fun single trails connect them, with the route described in detail in the trail book and ridden using GPS tracks. The clothes and equipment required for the three-day hut tour will fit in your own rucksack. It is recommended to book between Sunday and Thursday, as the mountain huts are often fully booked at weekends.
