Originally I wanted to spend a few days in the Lower Engadin valley, trying a few mountain pass crossings from and to Scuol and the Val S-chanf. Unfortunately I only found out the day I was due to depart that they had suffered from a flash flood and that the entire valley was an emergency zone and that the road and path had gone. On short notice I thus had to change my plans and went to the Upper Engadin (think St. Moritz) instead. I spent the first evening in Pontresina and managed to get two rides to the ever-retreating Morteratsch Glacier and the lovely Roseg Valley.
