Gita in bici di un giorno da Tiefencastel a Zernez

Get ready for an epic Swiss mountain adventure! This challenging ride takes you from the historic village of Tiefencastel, nestled in the lush Albula Valley, all the way to Zernez, the gateway to Switzerland’s only national park. The journey spans a solid 64 kilometers—and with more than 2,400 meters of climbing, you’ll want to pack some snacks.

You’ll pedal mostly on paved roads with occasional stretches of gravel and unpaved paths—perfect for those who love a bit of variety. The route sends you upwards through soaring alpine landscapes (keep an eye on that max elevation of over 2,300 meters!), past dramatic valleys and quaint villages. Take your time and soak in those postcard-worthy views.

Ending in Zernez, you’ll find yourself right at the doorstep of the Swiss National Park—ideal for a little cool-down stroll (or maybe just a well-deserved pastry). Both towns have their roots deep in Romansh culture, so don’t be surprised if you hear a new language or two along the way. Happy climbing!
