We are still on tour with our Mountain Bike in beautiful Switzerland, and today we go to Davos, another pearl of the Canton of Grisons, The Home of Trails! Davos, like the previous places we have visited, is one of the most famous ski resorts in the world, chosen by many international jet set VIPs for their holidays. In its summer guise it becomes a little less “aristocratic” and more biker friendly, offering us a Bike Arena with more than 200 km of single track trails, with a more natural and less build trails than the other destinations: here the trails are more technical, but in any case the vast choice allows bikers of all skill levels to find fun in complete safety!
YOU CAN TRY THESE TOURS ALSO WITH THE NEW ENDURO PEDAL ASSISTED EBIKES! It’s perfect for these itineraries.
Davos is located in a valley further north than the Engadine and Lenzerheide, almost at the border with Austria. Here too we are surrounded by Majestic Alpine Peaks with trails that wind from over 2800 meters above sea level and connected by a large and fast network of lifts. The gem for Gravity lovers is also a Bike Park line (the only one present, the rest remains all natural trail) called Grisons A-Line with beautiful wooden bridges reminiscent of the style of Canada and Whistler.
Di tutti gli Itinerari Mountain Bike e Ebike possibili qui a Davos noi vogliamo mostrarvi i due più significativi, che da soli potrebbero riempire anche più di un weekend di mountain bike in questo posto splendido. Andiamo insieme a scoprirli.
All over the possible Mountain Bike and Ebike Itineraries here in Davos we want to show you the two most significant, which alone could fill even more than a mountain bike weekend in this fantastic spot. Let’s go together to discover it.
* DAVOS BAHNEN TOUR 10K *
START: DAVOS.
END:DAVOS.
TOTAL LENGHT: 115 km.
UPHILL: Pedaled+ Lift.
DOWNHILL VERTICAL DROP: 10.000 mt.
TIME TO RIDE :almost 6 hours with stops.
With no doubt the most famous Mtb Tour of Davos is one of the must rides of all the Alps! If you can complete it in just one day, it means that you are a real biker!!! TEN THOUSAND METERS OF DOWNHILL VERTICAL DROP, this is what the Davos Bahnen Tour 10k promises… To be more relaxed, for an enduro with no rush as we like, you can also decide to split the tour into two days, stopping to stay overnight in one of the beautiful Bike Hotels in the Davos Valley. But if we want to take home the crown of the ten thousand meters of descent in a single day, it is good to leave very early, no later than 08.20 am (lifts opening time) and arrive in a good training shape even with a pedal assisted Ebike . The tour is not fully signposted therefore we really recommend being accompanied by a Mtb Guide because it is very easy to get lost among the various forks of the many trails that make up the whole tour. Essential to have Gps Track and Road Book.
As in the Enduro World Series, this tour is divided into 8 stages, with short ascents on pedals, most of uphill take place with the use of the lifts. It starts from Davos in the village and goes up with the funicular up to Weissfluh, from here with a slight ascent you arrive at the Strela Pass panoramic point in a sublime alpine environment, to then descend on a fast and pleasant single track down to Glaris . With another lift you’ll reach the opposite side with the descent of the beautiful Rinerhorn trail entirely in the woods. The following stages develop in the Davos Gotschna and Madrisa Areas and it’s one more beautiful than the other, with the gem of the gravity descent of the Grisons A-Line. This Mtb Tour will truly and literally leave you breathless! Absolutely a must to try.
* ALPS EPIC TRAIL IMBA *
START: DAVOS.
END:FILISUR.
TOTAL LENGHT: 40km.
UPHILL: Pedaled (optional uphill with lift).
DOWNHILL VERTICAL DROP: 3055 mt.
TIME TO RIDE : almost 8 hours with stops.
The Apotheosis of the All Mountain Mtb Tour! This itinerary is perfect, indeed super recommended, with a pedal assisted enduro Ebike. With the exception of the first uphill (which can also be pedaled) the Alps Epic Trail does not use lifts and the uphills are all pedaled. This is the longest linear mountain bike tour in all of Switzerland, and has been awarded the title of “Epic Trail” by IMBA, the International Mountain Bike Association. It is the only one in the Alps to have this award, and to obtain it, the tour must have certain requirements, including having 80% or more of the course on natural single track. The Alps Epic Trail Davos therefore belongs to the elite of the best mountain bike trails in the world. One more reason to brag about having riding it.
The trail develops in a harmonious up and down between the summit of Davos Jakobshorn (also reachable by cable car, the only lift we are allowed to take on this tour) to descend 3055 meters of pure fun, never difficult or dangerous, down to Filisur at the entrance to the Davos valley. You will pass majestic landscapes in the narrow gorges of the canyons crossed by the railway viaducts and with the necessary stops once in Filisur (or even earlier during the journey) you will be able to enjoy an excellent restorative lunch and return to Davos with the Swiss Railway Train .
