Pedalada Lü

A comfortable start from S-charl with a steady but easy incline, past alpine pastures along the mountain stream Clemgia. Everything leads over forest roads, wait after two short bridge crossings over two ramp-like climbs to the next hill - so it's time to get momentum. Once at the top, the valley opens up with a view of the Alp Astras and the idyllic surrounding nature. Here, fresh alpine products and the cozy atmosphere invite you for a short break before heading on the more demanding part of the tour. Now follows a single trail up to the top of the pass, which is easy to ride with a little concentration. Peppered with individual very short but steep sections, a little balance and technique is required here with the gravel bike. Once at the top, you can enjoy a unique view from one valley to the next. From here it is almost only downhill, the first passage over a rough gravel path may become a short pushing passage for the less experienced. After a few meters, however, you can already saddle up again and it follows a bumpy descent over gravel and easy trails to the height of Alp Champatsch. From here, the tour leads over forest roads and in between asphalted road down to Lü, Tschierv and via forest paths comfortably through the valley to Sta. Maria.
