Scenic e‑bike routes you can start from the hotel

Below are rider‑friendly ideas designed to match changing weather, time windows, and energy levels. Use our trail map to refine each ride on the day.

1) Lakeside and village warm‑up

• Roll from the hotel toward the St. Moritz lake for a relaxed warm‑up on lakeside promenades and quiet roads.
• Pause at vantage points to take in the iconic views across the water framed by Engadin peaks.
• Ideal for your arrival day or as a spin before a longer climb.

2) Forest connectors to St. Moritz Bad and Meierei

• Glide through gentle connectors toward St. Moritz Bad, letting the e‑assist smooth out undulating terrain.
• Extend to Meierei for elevated perspectives of the valley and lake—perfect for photos and a water break.

3) Suvretta hillside to the Clavadatsch outlook

• Follow nearby trails up the Suvretta hillside toward the Clavadatsch hut area for sweeping views above St. Moritz.
• When in season, Clavadatsch is known for its terrace and alpine grill specialities; it’s also available for private functions by arrangement year‑round.

4) Corviglia access and alpine panoramas

• From the hotel, you’re moments from the Chantarellabahn and the Corviglia mountain area, home to classic Engadin panoramas.
• Use the trail map to choose forest roads and alpine connectors suited to your comfort level.
• Expect big‑sky scenery and the kind of long, flowing riding e‑bikes make even more enjoyable.

5) Valley viewpoints with Muottas Muragl in sight

• Pick valley‑floor options that keep Muottas Muragl in your skyline for a scenic orientation ride.
• Great when clouds skim the high ridges—stay lower, keep moving, and enjoy broad views without committing to steeper climbs.

Planning your ride: maps, weather, and safety

A smooth day out begins with a simple checklist. Stop by reception for the Engadin mountain‑bike trail map and use the tips below to make the most of your time.

Map and route selection

• Start with the hotel’s printed trail map and choose a loop with flexible shortcuts.
• Match route length to your battery level and planned photo/coffee stops.
• Check seasonal notes at reception—some mountain facilities and huts operate on defined timetables.

Weather and visibility

• Alpine conditions change quickly. Use the hotel’s webcams on the roof to preview real‑time weather and choose your elevation accordingly.
• Mornings often deliver calmer winds and clearer air—perfect for e‑bikes.

E‑bike battery and setup

• Begin on Eco/Tour modes to conserve battery; save higher assist for climbs or headwinds.
• Lower tire pressure slightly on gravel for comfort and grip; re‑inflate after if you’ll ride longer on tarmac.
• Secure essentials: multi‑tool, spare tube (or plugs and CO2 for tubeless), water, layers, and sun protection.

Trail etiquette and safety

• Yield to hikers and announce politely when passing; keep speeds controlled on shared paths.
• Stay on marked trails and respect closures—this protects both riders and alpine habitats.
• Hydrate consistently at altitude and pace early climbs; e‑assist helps, but effort still adds up.

Refuel and relax: restaurants, bars, and wellness

Round off your ride with good food, live music, and time to unwind—without leaving the hotel.

• Restaurant Segantini: An elegant setting for à‑la‑carte dinners (non‑half‑board and external guests are welcome).
• Acla: Casual, all‑day dining—from homemade pasta and pinsa to comforting classics after a big ride.
• Fondetta: A cosy spot for relaxed meals and alpine flavours.
• Clavadatsch hut: Panoramic terrace above St. Moritz; known for grilled specialities over an open fire. Seasonal opening; available for private events any time by arrangement.
• Pianobar: Evenings feature live piano music—a mellow backdrop for a celebratory drink.
• Additional bars include Muli, Le Hall, and the cosy Stübli.
• Wellness: Recover in the sauna and steam bath, then stretch on the relaxation terrace to ease your legs for tomorrow’s ride.
