Cycling day trip from Zernez to Davos

This scenic ride takes you from Zernez, nestled in the heart of the Swiss National Park, all the way to the alpine town of Davos. It’s a true high-altitude adventure, covering nearly 89 km and featuring over 3500 meters of ascent (bring those climbing legs!). You’ll pedal over varied surfaces – mostly smooth asphalt and paved roads, but there’s a solid stretch of gravel and some rougher sections to keep things interesting.

As you leave Zernez, watch for the region’s iconic wildlife and enjoy crisp mountain air. The route snakes through dramatic valleys and over high passes – the max elevation hits about 2,300 meters! Take breaks to soak up epic views and refuel (there are plenty of classic Swiss chalets and pastures en route).

You'll end in Davos, famous for its ski resorts and lively vibe year-round. The town’s also known for hosting the World Economic Forum – but today, you’ll just want to relax and celebrate big mountain miles. This is a challenging but wildly rewarding ride for any cyclist craving serious Alps scenery and a memorable day out!
