Overview

Buon dì and welcome to Zernez, gateway to the Swiss National Park and the country’s largest nature preserve. Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at the Zernez railway station at 10:45 AM. After a personalized bike fit at Plazza de la Staziu, you'll set out on your first ride through the Lower Engadin Valley, a mix of gravel paths and quiet pavement. Pass through the region’s historic mountaineering villages and admire traditional Engadin houses, adorned with intricate sgraffito designs. A few climbs will welcome you to the Alps before you descend into Scuol, the “city of mineral waters” and your home for the next two nights. After settling in, we’ll explore the village on foot, sampling fresh mineral springs before gathering for social hour in a cozy Engadin Stube (parlor). We’ll return to the hotel for tonight’s dinner featuring regional specialties that set the tone for a week of alpine adventure.

Overview

Wake to crisp mountain air mixed with the sound of church bells, and enjoy a hearty breakfast before setting out toward Sent, a postcard-perfect village perched above the Engadin Valley. Refill your water bottle from a mineral spring on the village square, then descend to the shores of the River Inn for a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant. This afternoon, ride back to Scuol and indulge in its world-famous mineral waters, renowned for their restorative properties. Sip from the historic Büvetta Tarasp drinking hall or immerse yourself in the thermal baths at Bogn Engiadina. Prefer a final challenge? Climb to Tarasp Castle for sweeping alpine views—then return to the spa for your well-earned soak. Dinner tonight is on your own, with local favorites recommended by your guides.
