The bike route runs mainly on white-red-white marked mountain hiking trails and is not signposted as an official bike route. Instead, it follows the signposting of the local villages along the route.

Return journey

The return journey from Chiavenna by public transport is included. The return journey can be made either by post bus over the Splügen Pass to Splügen and on to Thusis or by post bus and Rhaetian Railway via St. Moritz/Engadin back to Thusis.
