Why you should go there: St. Moritz is the world famous winter retreat for the rich and the famous. The two times Olympic site is known for its luxurious hotels and boutiques, cross-country ski tracks and skiing slopes. It also hosts extravagant events like a polo tournament and the “white turf” horse race – both held on St. Moritz’ frozen lake. The town of Pontresina close by appears a little more traditional and less posh.

In the past years the region has developed into an excellent biking destination for the summer season. The summer offer does not stay behind the excellent winter options! Aimed at “pleasure bikers” the regions has built many new trails in addition to the existing (shared) hiking trails. Ski lifts and public transport allow easy access to these trails. The stunning high alpine landscape sets the scene for fantastic days filled with flow and sheer riding pleasure!

Who is it for: All types of bikers should be able to find what they are looking for. The official trails and routes are well maintained and intended to allow beginners to intermediate riders find their flow experience. More experienced bikers who prefer more technical riding will enjoy the hiking trails of the region and experts can also find high-altitude hike-a-bike adventures.

Who should avoid it: The “purist” biker might dislike the crowds around the lifts in the “Corviglia” area – the region becomes quieter towards Bever or Sils.
