Mountain Biking in the Swiss Alps in Flims / Laax

I used to come here for skiing about 15 years ago with my family and relatives, we always had a wonderful time. This time Peter, a friend of him and me, we came to go biking. We started in Falera, a small cute village.

It didn't take long until we got to see some cows on an Alm, haven't seen that for ages.

 

First snow of the season :-)

 

More mountains, more cows and more signs for directions.

Crap Masegn, that was our aim for today.

Lycra is in in Europe, I guess I have to get some new gear once I go home.

Probably my favorite picture of the day. From now we had 1800 m downhill on a hiking path.

Here is a movie of the riding.

 

 

It got already dark. When we left Zurich in the morning we assumed it will take us 3 to 4 hours, well, it took us a bit longer.
