The Experience

Before You Go

Confirm bike rental in advance

The tour includes a certified MTB guide but typically not a bike—reserve a rental if you don’t bring your own.

Watch for changing weather

Alpine weather can shift quickly—carry a lightweight waterproof layer and check forecasts before you ride.

Hydrate and carry snacks

Three-hour rides with climbs require a 1–2L hydration pack and high-energy snacks; refuel during scenic stops.

Respect grazing areas

Yield to livestock and close gates; many trails cross summer pastures and quiet farms.

Conservation Note

The Upper Engadin has long been home to Romansh-speaking communities; St. Moritz later grew into an international spa and alpine resort in the 19th century.
