TOP 5 Mountainbike-Spots in der Schweiz

Päivi ist der Inbegriff einer „Badass Lady“! Wir lernten uns vor einigen Jahren beim Freeriden in Engelberg kennen und dann kreuzten sich unsere Wege immer wieder. Päivi ist aus Finnland, lebt seit einigen Jahren aber in der Schweiz – der Berge zuliebe. Dort ist sie sowohl mit Skiern als auch mit ihrem Mountainbike viel unterwegs. Mit uns teilt sie ihre 5 tollsten Mountainbike-Spots. Danke liebe Päivi dafür!

Here come my TOP 5 Mountainbike places in Switzerland (there are so many cool trails in every place that I could not decide on only one trail :))

DAVOS – KLOSTERS

Huge area with many mountains, valleys and long trails to discover. You can find all kind of different trail characters from loamy forest trails to steep, technical and rocky high alpine trails, there is even a bike park in Klosters. If you prefer, lifts will bring you up to the mountains or you can pedal up to remote places where you will be all on your own. Some of my favourites: Sertig trail from Jakobshorn and Chörbschhorn from Parsenn.

ZERMATT

That view! In the middle of mighty mountains and glaciers are epic trails for everyone. Besides the world famous Matterhorn the village is also a must see. Since the place is very popular among hikers, better go in the low season or late summer to avoid traffic jam on the trails. Zermatt is building new trails and will host the Enduro World Series Finals in 2019.

JEIZINEN

A small place with friendly staff, a tiny lift and a bunch of nice trails. Beautiful view down to the Valais valley.

ENGADIN

It’s just a magic place. Extraordinary beautiful with many cool trails. Favourite time: Indian summer! Some of my favourite trails: trail from Bernina pass down to Poschiavo, Trais Fluors and Bever trail from Piz Nair. There is also a super fun flow trail in Corviglia and many other options for bike tours.

VERBIER

This place has a special place in my heart, the first ski area in the alps I visited years ago. Now it’s also a place to go in the summer time. Many long and technical trails and a nice bike park with several different lines. Here are also many options for bike tours besides the bike park, for example from La Chaux down to Le Chable or on the Bruson side from Col du Mille to Le Chable.

Also one of my all-time favourite in Graubünden is the Bahnen tour from Chur to Lenzerheide and further to Arosa and back to Chur!
