A day out in Chur

Swiss trains are great.

Go on then, how much was the lift ticket?

I used them to get about in Davos a few years ago. If you stayed at a local campsite or hotel you got free train and bus travel and a free lift pass for the duration of your stay! Accommodation was pretty cheap too, it worked out way cheaper than Morzine with a £100 lift pass. There was always room for the bikes on the trains and compared to where most Brits go in the Alps, there were almost no other bikers (or braking bumps!).

51 Swiss francs. I’ve done the blue twice and the red once. Also ticked off he little drop which has been bugging me.

It’s very soft at the top and dusty in the middle where the sun hits the piste.

First off – hit a soft spot on the take off for a step up and landed on the side of the jump. Recovered my pride and continued down on the black ( with chicken runs, I’m not that good).

Not me

It’s not really drying out, but still fun.

I just did the smallest feature in the Dropbox so I’m happy with my progress today. I’m gonna stop for lunch now, I’ve been riding for 4.5 hours now, only stopping whilst in the lift.

Yoikes – 21 Francs for a portion of chips and a coffee.  It’s not like I’m not used to Swiss prices but that’s extreme.

So that’s it, Ende Freeride. What a cracking day out.

Great. Chur is a great starting point for all manner of fun times.

Sausage in a bap for the way home, it will take 2 hours and eleven minutes exactly and will be on time.

Sorry about the lack of action pictures but you can’t ride and take pics at the same time.
