Long tour along the border ridge between Switzerland and Austria. The effort is rewarded with magnificent views and a long descent on trails.

This tour is not for soft calves, but something for those willing to suffer and e-bike explorers. The tour begins in Samnaun Dorf. You ride on wide gravel roads and have to conquer some cutting ramps. In winter the ski run "Duty Free Run" traverses this area. Following Zeblasjoch a single trail begins – and now things become really steep. Hats off to anyone who can pedal this trail without an e-bike. After Paliner Kopf things get easier again and the path takes you along the border ridge to Viderjoch. Don't forget to take a break to enjoy the magnificent panoramic views! Down to Samnaun Laret you pass via the enduro and freeride trails built by Claudio Caluori (No. 697) – pure flow pleasure.

Wir haben die Tour am 25.08.2019 gemacht. Hoch auf Schotterwegen, oben dann die durch den Skitourismus zerstörte Landschaft. Runter auf den beiden Trails Endurotrail und Duty Free(?). Beide Trails sind (natürlich) künstlich für die DownHill - Gemeinde angelegt. Etwas langweilig... Insgesamt war das die am wenigsten lohnende Runde, die wir in dieser Woche in Serfaus / Fiss und Nauders gefahren sind. Lieblinsgtour von: Tourismus Engadin Scuol Samnaun Val Müstair...) Da muss natürlich etwas Werbung her, wenn es nahe bei (Serfaus / Fiss) bessere Trailmöglichkeiten gibt.
