Due to Covid it seemed easier to stay domestic this year. Not the worst thing as far as I am concerned though I am hoping to finally get further away again next year. The plan was to just rent a place, make a list of ideas, and hit them as the weather allowed. I have already written up a few of the more interesting days as separate posts, in these cases I have provided a link for them. As ever quite a bit of the cost could be knocked off by staying somewhere cheaper and eating simpler.
Bringing my own bike and being able to borrow an e-bike for free helped do some day trips for free or very cheap.
If you stay somewhere with the guest card then that would save quite a bit of the transport costs, there is also an Engadin hiking pass which could save lots of money if you really plan to hit a cable car every day.
Even with flawless weather everyday there is more than enough in the area to keep me busy the whole time and then some. Date: August I dropped down the Engadin valley then up Val Chamuera. The side valley is rather long and a mix of expected rain and a horrible squeak when my drive system was under load made me turn around part way up. I went back and describe it in more depth in day 8 below. See this post for more details. Length: This is a very flexible route with a number of train stops over the pass so you can easily extend or shorten it as you like.
My wife borrowed an Ebike for this, which changed her opinion and view on the idea of riding bikes up mountains. Your email address will not be published.
