The bike marathon around the Swiss National Park is probably one of the most spectacular events in Switzerland. Athletes from all over the world spare no effort and cycle up to 140 kilometres in a few hours. The professionals have little time for the beautiful scenery, but they do go a little slower.
You will get to know the famous bike course over several days on your tour around the national park. You roll through small hamlets, visit the Münster Valley, make a detour to the shopping paradise of Livigno and finally return to the Lower Engadine. You too can feel like a champion in Scuol at the end of your journey. Unlike the professionals, you will have gained some more impressions and will roll over the finish line with a smile.
The first part of the tour through the Val S-charl and over the da Costainas Pass is characterised by unique countryside along a mountain stream and through open mountain pine forests. The hamlets of S-charl and Lü are well worth a break.
From the sunny Val Müstair you reach the Lago di S. Giacomo di Fraéle and the Alpisella via the Val Mora. From there the route plunges down to the Lago di Livigno and finally Livigno, the end of this stage.
From Livigno the route climbs to its highest point, the alpine Chaschauna Pass (2,694m). The initially challenging descent through the Val Chaschauna all the way to S-chanf lets the effort of the climb fade into a distant memory.
The «easiest» stage takes us to Zernez and on through the picturesque Engadine villages of Susch, Lavin, Guarda and Ardez. After the final climb to Ftan you embark on the panoramic descent back to the starting point of Scuol.
