Excursión ciclista de un día de Silvaplana a Zernez

Ready for a scenic ride through the heart of the Engadin? This route takes you from the sparkling shores of Silvaplana Lake up and over to the beautiful village of Zernez—a journey of about 46 km that will get your heart pumping and eyes feasting on views.

Starting in Silvaplana, famous for its winds that attract windsurfers from all over, you’ll cruise past towering peaks and deep, lush forests. The ride is a mixture of paved and gravel roads, with a good chunk of the route (about half!) on gentle tracks and quiet roads, making it perfect for anyone who loves peaceful pedaling with a little adventure thrown in.

There’s some climbing (just under 900 meters up!) but even more exhilarating descents on the way to Zernez. And when you arrive, you’re in a gateway village to the Swiss National Park—a perfect spot to refuel and explore if you still have energy. Don’t forget to stop for some photos: this is Swiss Alps cycling at its finest!
