Overview
How it works
Open the selected TOUR C or TOUR D with the web app Pictomap. Various locations are marked on the map and enriched with cultural information as well as image, audio and video material.
The Pictomap shows you where you are and where the next kulTOUR stop is located.
Now you can immerse yourself in days long past, learn more about the places you are visiting – or simply continue on your way if the content does not interest you.
Start / Finish
There is no actual start or finish location. You can start the kulTOUR wherever you would like.
Getting around
Both kulTOUR routes are signposted in the area. You just need to follow the relevant signs.
Cost
The kulTOURs are free of charge.
Equipment
All you need to ride and experience the kulTOURs is a bicycle and a mobile phone.
Rental equipment & Energybänkli
No bike? No problem! There are various rental locations along both tours.
You will also find several Energybänkli – rest areas with integrated charging stations for e-bikes. Perfect for a quick break with a view of the Engadin landscape.

Geolocating historical photos is an exciting challenge. Help us by using the Before/After feature in Pictomap to recreate the original image as precisely as possible. The GPS coordinates of your current shot will then be transferred to the historical photo.
Often it’s not easy to figure out which landmark the picture shows or from which spot it was taken – a real challenge!
To use this feature, you’ll need to register or log in to the app (email/password). You’ll find the Before/After button in the object view, just below the image description.
