Cycling day trip from Scuol to Zernez

Kick off your two-wheel adventure in the charming alpine village of Scuol, nestled in Switzerland’s stunning Engadin valley. Known for its thermal baths and picturesque scenery, Scuol is the perfect launchpad for your cycling journey. You’ll be cycling a total of around 33 kilometers, which might sound like a breeze until you consider that spicy 1409 meters of ascent!

The ride is a mixed bag, with roughly 33% of it on gravel paths—a chance to get up close with nature without the roar of traffic. Just remember to keep an eye out as about 30% of the route uses roads, but thankfully they're mostly quiet.

If you love a good climb, you’ll dig reaching the maximum elevation at 1638 meters atop one of the gorgeously scenic trails. As you pedal onward, enjoy that sweet descent leading you into Zernez. This small yet culturally rich town is your final stop. Known as the gateway to the Swiss National Park, it’s a nature lover’s paradise with countless options for further exploration.

So pack a few snacks, plenty of water, and maybe save room for a celebratory treat once you roll into Zernez. Enjoy the ride!
