Cycling day trip from Scuol to Zernez

Get ready for a breathtaking ride through the Engadin Valley! Starting out in Scuol—famous for its mineral springs and charming Romansh culture—you’ll head west towards Zernez, gateway to the Swiss National Park. This 33 km route isn’t your typical riverside cruise. You’re looking at over 1,400 meters of climbing, so pace yourself!

You’ll pedal across all kinds of surfaces—chunky gravel paths, smooth paved stretches, and some classic unpaved tracks—perfect for a gravel or adventure bike. The ride winds through alpine forests and open valleys, with plenty of panoramic views. Don’t be surprised if you spot marmots or even ibex along the way.

Zernez, your finish line, is a small but lively mountain village that serves as the starting point for a ton of hiking and biking adventures in the Swiss National Park. Treat yourself to a local pastry and soak up that crisp mountain air—you’ve earned it!
