St. Moritz

Stop for burgers en route to St. Moritz. Five Guys makes a solid motorway pit stop — load up before the mountain roads begin.

~3 h from Zurich, ~2.5 h from Chur. Settle in, get your gear sorted for the morning, early night.

The classic Engadin ferrata, starting from the Diavolezza cable car station. Vertical rock faces with spectacular views straight down onto the Pers glacier and across to the Bernina massif. One of the most scenic ferratas in all of Switzerland.

Shorter (B/C difficulty), gondola-assisted start, with a sweeping panorama over the three Engadin lakes. A good warm-up choice if the weather is uncertain.

10 min from St. Moritz — better food, better prices, proper mountain village atmosphere. Skip the resort restaurants and eat here.

Lift-served trails directly above St. Moritz — mix of flow tracks, jump lines, and technical blacks. Take the Signal gondola from the village. Multiple laps are easy since you never have to pedal back up.

15 min drive, more natural singletrack feel with the turquoise Silsersee shimmering below. Great option for a change of scenery from Corviglia.

Full-suspension rentals available in St. Moritz and Pontresina — book ahead for Saturday, they sell out fast in peak summer.

Maloja area trails are excellent and much less crowded than Corviglia on a Sunday. Full-day option if your legs are willing.

Gondola to 3,056 m, then a short hike to the summit for a complete 360° Engadin panorama. Easy on tired legs and perfect for a clear Sunday morning before the drive home.

Big brunch, walk around Silvaplana lake, on the road by noon. After two hard days, no shame in taking it easy.
