Bever-Spinas-Loipe

The cross-country trail winds its way along the RhB railway line and the Beverin stream, ascending slightly as it reaches Spinas at the southern portal of the Albula Tunnel. Short detours through forests of Swiss pine and larch or to the restaurant at the trail’s turning point provide relaxation.

The starting point of the trail is not directly served by public transport; the nearest stop, Bever, Dorfzentrum, is around one kilometre away. From Bever, the circuit initially passes through the settlement before emerging onto the open expanses of the Upper Engadin. From its lowest point near the start, the trail climbs gradually over the first half.

Around the halfway point, it reaches its highest point near Cho d’Valletta at approximately 1'820 m. By then, most of the total elevation gain of around 170 metres has been completed. The route then descends again through the open high valley. Towards the end, the houses of Bever draw closer once more. After a total of ten kilometres and just over two and a half hours, the trail returns to its starting point; from the finish, too, Bever, Dorfzentrum, is the nearest stop, around one kilometre away.
