What Guests are Saying
Guide Lisa Lieb hugging a beautiful Burnese Mountain dog

The Engadin Valley in Switzerland is a picturesque region known for its charming villages, pristine mountain pathways, and refreshing mountain air. It's a perfect destination for summer cycling and is often referred to as the "unknown and untouched" Switzerland. The region is known for its Nusstorte, a traditional Swiss pastry made with caramelized nuts. The Engadin Valley is a great place to explore and find yourself while enjoying the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps.

I LOVED this trip and I think gravel is so much more fun than road! This is an area I want to return to it was a great experience and if you doubled the daily mileage I would be really into that as well!

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Currency and credit cards: The official currency is the Swiss franc (CHF). While euros are accepted in many shops, restaurants, and hotels, change is given in francs. International credit and debit cards are also widely accepted.
  • Packing: The weather in the Swiss Alps can be refreshingly cool, even in summer. While days are pleasantly warm, evenings bring a crisp chill. Be sure to pack a sweater or a light, packable down jacket—just like the locals do!
  • Air conditioning: This trip does not include air conditioning, but you’ll find the fresh Swiss mountain air is all you need. Simply open the windows at night, and let the cool alpine breeze keep you comfortable.
  • E-Bikes: E-bike speeds vary worldwide due to local regulations, which determine how fast you can ride with assistance. See the E-bike speed chart to see the maximum speeds allowed in each region.
  • Route changes: Gravel roads are dynamic by nature. Road surfaces change throughout the year depending on maintenance (grading, adding new gravel) and weather, particularly rain. Our guides constantly monitor road conditions and may change the routes as needed to provide the best possible riding experience.
