Engadin Radmarathon route

The route layout and the diverse variants make this racing bike route a challenge for amateur riders and cycling professionals. Depending on whether you choose the complete loop with 213 km and 2889 meters of elevation gain or one of the shorter loops with 97 or 117 kilometers and conquer two or four passes above 2000 meters.

While the 97-kilometer distance is manageable even for well-trained "casual cyclists," the complete loop over 213 kilometers presents a very special challenge. Four kilometers after Zernez, the biggest challenge of the day begins in Susch with the climb to the 2383-meter-high Flüela Pass. The pass is the roof of the Engadin Radmarathon – but the absolute toughest test awaits only in the finale.

The roughly 13-kilometer descent to Davos is fast and demanding. It continues downhill through the Landwasser valley – just under 30 kilometers after the Flüela, another short but steep climb to Davos Wiesen awaits before a further fast descent takes the bikers to the lowest point of the Engadin Radmarathon in Alvaneu Bad. At 957 meters, the real challenge of the Engadin Radmarathon begins here. Although the Albula Pass, at 2312 meters, is not quite as high as the Flüela, its 26 kilometers leave hardly any time to catch your breath – especially since the route along the Albula line of the Rhaetian Railway, also part of the UNESCO World Heritage, is breathtaking.

After the Albula, the descent "home" follows. First, on the traces of the Tour de Suisse through the larches of the Engadin to La Punt, then along the Engadin road via Zuoz and S-chanf down to Zernez for the grand reception at the finish area of the Engadin Radmarathon.
