This seven-day e-MTB journey connects some of the most beautiful riding areas in the Swiss and Italian Alps.
Starting in Scuol, we cross the Lower Engadin and Val Müstair before reaching Livigno in Italy. From there, the route leads back into Switzerland through the Bernina region and St. Moritz before returning to Scuol.
Along the way, we ride natural Alpine singletrack, cross high mountain landscapes, discover Romansh- and Italian-speaking regions, pass through a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and visit UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Most riding days cover approximately 30–44 km (19–27 mi) with up to 1,600 m (5,250 ft) of elevation gain.
Expect a mixture of:
Walking a short technical section is completely normal. However, participants should be able to ride the majority of the route confidently.
E-MTB assistance makes the climbs significantly more manageable, but good fitness is still required for several consecutive days in the mountains.
We meet at 9:30 am at the hotel in Scuol for introductions, bike setup and an equipment check.
Our first ride explores the Lower Engadin and its historic villages. Gravel roads and easier sections gradually give way to natural Alpine singletrack, giving everyone time to get comfortable with the terrain and allowing the guide to assess the group.
The route is mainly moderate, with several more technical sections along the way. We return to Scuol in the afternoon, where you can relax after your first day in the mountains.

We begin with a transfer from Scuol to the remote mountain village of S-charl. From here, we ride beneath ancient Swiss stone pines toward Alp Astras and deeper into the mountains beside the Swiss National Park.
The riding becomes more technical as we continue across natural singletrack, including rocky terrain, exposed sections and demanding descents.
Views towards the Ortler mountain range accompany us as the route briefly crosses into Italy before returning to Switzerland. We finish in Müstair, home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Convent of St. John.

Today starts in classic Graubünden style with a ride on the yellow PostBus to the Ofen Pass at 2,149 m.
We leave the road and enter another spectacular Alpine landscape, riding through the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Engiadina Val Müstair. The terrain is predominantly moderate natural singletrack mixed with gravel as we make our way towards the Italian border.
After crossing into Italy, views over Lake Livigno open up below us before we descend towards Livigno itself. This lively mountain town is one of Europe’s best-known biking destinations and our base for the next two nights.

Today is deliberately flexible. You can join your guide for another e-MTB ride around Livigno, using the mountain lifts included in the itinerary, or take a full rest day.
If the group decides to ride, the guide chooses trails according to the weather, trail conditions, riding ability and energy level of the participants. Those who prefer to rest can enjoy Livigno, relax at the hotel or spend time at the spa.
The decision is discussed with the guide the evening before.

This is one of the biggest riding days of the week. We start in Livigno and use the Mottolino gondola to reach approximately 2,300 m before entering high-Alpine terrain above the tree line.
Natural singletrack leads us towards spectacular views of the Bernina Range and Piz Bernina, the highest mountain in Graubünden.
The route combines technical trail sections, exposed terrain, climbing and long descents before reaching the St. Moritz region. Along the way, we experience the landscape surrounding the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscapes.

After stopping at an Alpine hut, we begin a long descent through the valley towards La Punt, Madulain and Zuoz. From Zuoz, the Rhaetian Railway brings us back to Scuol.

Throughout the journey, you stay in carefully selected 3- and 4-star Alpine hotels, historic inns and boutique properties.
