Could be my single day sportive event, the Engadine mixes massive alpine ascents and descents with the long valleys of Livigno and Engadine. Its these connecting sections, and the long, shallow descent of Bernina and also down through Davos where you group up and speed through the scenery. Events which are up down, up down limit the benefits of group cycling, you can mostly do these events on your own.
Beside the stunning scenery, this event has less traffic, less motorbikes than the central Grimsel/Susten/Furka passes. On top of that, this was perfect weather for a mountain ride!
If you organised it perfectly, you'd drop off whatever jacket you have at the end of the first lap passing through Zernez, as you won't need it again. Was worth having arm warmers and gillet still at the top of the Bernina, but only a short while, then its down, down , down to the start of the massive Albula pass.All for a piece of Birnenbrot!
