Challenging bike tour over the Zeblasjoch and the Fuorcla Val Gronda to the Heidelberger Hütte in the Fimba Valley

difficult

Distance 42.5 km

8:45 h

The tour begins with the steep ascent from Samnaun village to the Zeblasjoch. Following the altitude curve, the route goes in the direction of Fuorcla Val Gronda to point 2554. From here there is a longer pushing passage. The Heidelberger Hütte is a German hut on Swiss soil, which is managed by Austrians. After a rest, the route descends along the extensive Fimba valley to the middle station. From here follows another steep climb back to Idalp and further to Viderjoch, alternatively you can also take the train. From the Viderjoch along the Grenzgrad to the Greitspitze, here you are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view, then you get over the Salaaser Kopf to the Zeblaswiesen and back to Samnaun village.

Last connection from the middle station of the Silvretta cable car to Samnaun at 3 pm.
