An artist, inspired by impressionism, would require weeks to capture the beauty of this tour. The sensory overload of magnificent panoramas in the charming Engadin villages like Zernez, Susch, and Lavin, the vast valleys of Upper Engadin, and the lush forests of the Swiss National Park would be overwhelming. Then, in a sudden shift, you find yourself in Tyrol—a place where conviviality reigns supreme. And your journey culminates in Innsbruck, a city that combines culture with its Olympic legacy, transforming the artist into a connoisseur.

Switzerland and Austria make for an exceptional partnership when it comes to panoramic cycling holidays. The bike route from St. Moritz to Innsbruck is a study in diversity, yet each day's stage seamlessly flows into the next. Over eight days, your path leads you from the sophisticated St. Moritz through the enchanting Engadine region to Innsbruck, renowned for its iconic Golden Roof.

Throughout the journey, you'll be treated to a delightful mix of mountain vistas, the serene beauty of the Swiss National Park's forests, and a rich cultural tapestry. And let's not forget the culinary delights! Engadine and Tyrol offer a mouthwatering array of choices, from the famous Engadine nut cake to Bündnerfleisch and Tiroler Gröstl, ensuring that your taste buds embark on their own delightful journey.

Details about the cycling tour between St Moritz and Innsbruck

In St. Moritz, you'll discover exclusive boutiques and restaurants that promise a luxurious experience. As you follow the Inn River, you'll be treated to magnificent views and unspoiled natural beauty. Inhale the crisp mountain air of the Engadine before arriving in the charming old town of Innsbruck.

The panoramas you'll encounter along the Inn River during this eight-day cycling holiday between St. Moritz and Innsbruck are nothing short of breathtaking. From time to time, take a moment to pause and absorb the beauty around you, creating lasting memories to cherish. The cycle tour, which commences along the picturesque lake, is particularly idyllic, leading you to the source of the Inn River itself.

Highlights of the Inn Cycle Path cycling holiday

  • Picturesque Engadine: The Engadine villages such as Zernez, Susch or Lavin seem to have sprung from an old homeland novel, as do the deep green forests and high valleys. Glamorous St. Moritz shines in its splendour

  • Hospitable Tyrol: On the fifth day of your cycling holiday, you cross the border between Switzerland and Austria and immediately feel the Tyrolean hospitality

  • Cycle paths along the source of the Inn: The river rises at the Maloja Pass in the Engadine and flows into the city of Passau. You don't go that far with the river, but you cycle along it a bit to Innsbruck

Itinerary

Direct arrival in St. Moritz or arrival in Innsbruck with a bus transfer to St. Moritz.

 

Enjoy the fascinating surroundings of St. Moritz today and cycle around the lake to the origin of the Inn.

Via Samedan (old tower), La Punt (early gothic San Andreas church with frescoes) and Zuoz (window paintings in the church of San Luzi) to Zernez. We cycle through the high valley of the Upper Engadine. Zernez is the gateway to the National Park.

First, we go to Lavin, which has retained the character of an old mountain village. The place name of the beautiful village of Guarda ("Look!") comes from the beautiful view that you can enjoy here. The final destination today is Scuol, with the adventure pool "Bogn Engiadina" and the castle Tarasp, the majestic landmark of the Engadine.

From Scoul, we reach the Austrian border via Martina and we cycle via Pfunds and Tösens to Ried / Prutz. Along the Inn, the route takes us through the famous Finstermünster gorge. Worth a look are the village centres of Stuben and Pfunds in Tyrol.

Via the "High Court" of Ried and via Prutz to Landeck (castle with castle museum, the ruins of Schrofenstein, Gerberbrücke: scene of the Tyrolean freedom fights). It continues past the monastery of Zams and through the protected Milser Au to Imst (a city of fountains, numerous churches and chapels). Worth a visit to the rose garden gorge.

Small, well-maintained villages line the Inn Cycle Route. The cultural highlight of today's tour is the monastery of Stams with the Stiftkerk and the beautiful rose work. Countless churches and ruins keep an eye on the Inn Valley from above. The “Martinswand” leads the cyclists to Innsbruck with its well-maintained old town and the various sights (Goldenes Dachl, Stadtturm, Hofburg, Hofgarten, Helbinghaus).

Departure from Innsbruck or spend extra nights in the city or surrounding region.
