Cycling day trip from Davos to Zernez

This ride takes you from the mountain resort town of Davos all the way to the gateway of the Swiss National Park, Zernez—it’s a real alpine adventure! Davos, famous for its breathtaking mountain views and hosting the World Economic Forum, is nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Leaving town, you’ll climb through high mountain valleys and swoop down thrilling descents, racking up over 3,700 meters of ascent (pack some snacks, you’ll need them!).

Expect a mix of surfaces: mostly paved and asphalt roads, but be ready for stretches of gravel—perfect if you love a bit of rougher riding. The route also takes you up to an elevation of 2,317 meters, promising epic views (and maybe, snow-capped peaks depending on the season).

Finish off in Zernez, a charming alpine village and the main entrance to Switzerland’s oldest national park. This route is a stunning but challenging way to experience the wild heart of Graubünden. Not for the faint of heart, but absolutely worth it for the adventure seekers!
