And for dessert, the nearby Valtellina has some of the best singletrail descents with over 2000 meters of vertical drop. At selected locations, you can reach the start of the trail without a strenuous ascent and as an exclusive experience with the heli-shuttle.
The three-day package is best booked together with two to eight friends. The tours for two of the three days are described in detail in the trail book and are completed independently. On the third day, the guide joins you for the two flights with the heli-shuttle and the subsequent singletrail descents into the Valtellina. The CO2 emissions caused by the helicopter flights are offset with "myclimate".
The first choice for the two overnight stays with breakfast is the Albergo Croce Bianca in Poschiavo. Additional nights can be booked on request. For dinner, you can either stay there or dine in one of the nearby restaurants in the village center.

The tour can also be ridden directly on arrival, provided you have all your luggage in your rucksack.
