Cycling day trip from Zernez to Livigno

Embark on an exhilarating cycling adventure starting from Zernez, a charming Swiss village nestled in the Engadin valley and known as the gateway to the stunning Swiss National Park. This route takes you on a breathtaking journey to Livigno, Italy, a bustling ski resort town known for its vibrant après-ski scene and duty-free shops.

The ride is a solid 51.7 kilometers, with a mix of surfaces that’ll keep things interesting—expect smooth asphalt, rugged gravel, and some uncharted ground. It'll get your heart racing with a climb of over 2100 meters, peaking at an impressive elevation of 2900 meters where the views are absolutely rewarding.

You’ll be navigating mostly tracks and paths, dodging through serene forest trails and the occasional quiet road. Up a little longer than half the way, be prepared for an adventurous mix of surface types, so make sure your bike is ready for some off-road action.

Once you roll into Livigno, treat yourself to some Italian pizza and explore the lively streets—it's the perfect way to wrap up this thrilling cross-border adventure. So grab your gear, charge your camera, and saddle up for an unforgettable ride from Swiss beauty to Italian charm!
