Quite a bit of elevation gain to fight – from Pontresina to Bernina Pass, Livigno Bike Trail to a few alpine lakes and as a finale the Val Viola all the way to the pass forming the border between Switzerland and Italy, with a lovely view down to the rifugio – but the birra for me waited down on the Swiss side in a lovely chalet in Campo.
