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.
