Quick ride by bicycle from St. Moritz to Silvaplana

Ready for some classic Engadin scenery? This route takes you from the glitzy alpine town of St. Moritz down to the laid-back village of Silvaplana—get set for lakeside views and mountain air!

You’ll start in world-famous St. Moritz, a legendary winter resort known for its luxury hotels, historic Olympic games, and stunning perch above crystal-clear Lake St. Moritz. Heading out, you’ll follow a mix of quiet paved roads and easy-going tracks (mostly asphalt, with a bit of gravel thrown in). You’ll climb and descend through gentle alpine landscapes and get plenty of chances to catch those jaw-dropping mountain panoramas.

The ride itself is a short but spectacular 7.3 km, with a sweet descent of 255 meters and a few motivating uphills (adding up to 228 m of ascent). As you approach Silvaplana, you’ll skirt the shores of the lake—one of Switzerland’s best spots for windsurfing and kiteboarding. The village itself keeps things chill, set against a backdrop of rugged peaks and sparkling water. This one’s perfect for soaking in the scenery—and maybe grabbing a lakeside espresso at the end.
