From St. Moritz to Innsbruck along the Inn Cycle Path
Switzerland and Austria are dream teams when it comes to panoramic cycling holidays. The bike ride from St. Moritz to Innsbruck couldn't be more varied, and yet the individual day stages are consistent. For eight days, your route takes you from elegant St. Moritz via the Engadine to Innsbruck, the city with the Golden Roof.
Mountain panoramas alternate with the lush forests of the Swiss National Park and the cultural offer is also impressive. And culinary? It plays a very important role in Engadine and also in Tyrol. You have the delicious choice between the famous Engadine nut cake, Bündnerfleisch, Tiroler Gröstl and many other specialities.

The highlights of the Inn Cycle Path cycling holiday at a glance
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 Danube in Passau. You don't go that far with the river, but you cycle along it a bit to Innsbruck
Things worth knowing about the bike tour from St. Moritz to Innsbruck
At the start of the tour, elegant flair and a tour of the surrounding lakes of St. Moritz await you. Day after day you cycle a little further towards the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck. The day stages are between 35 and 65 kilometres long and are mostly on beautiful cycling paths. Only two to three intermediate climbs are easily mastered with a little fitness.
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).
