Mountain biking

Here you'll experience almost 95 percent singletrack and endlessly beautiful nature! The "Alps Epic Trail Davos" leads from the Jakobshorn via the Sertig Dörfli to Davos Monstein and finally to Filisur.

Ride Magazine titled this tour as follows: "There are only three routes in the Alps that have made it onto the International Mountain Bike Association's 'Epic Rides' list. The high trail through the Landwasser Valley near Davos is one of them. This high honor is no coincidence." We agree! Highlights of this tour include the challenging climb from Sertig to Äbirügg and the descent from the Jakobshorn into Sertig. For nature lovers, photographers, and connoisseurs, the final stretch along the Landwasser River from Wiesen to Filisur is the crowning conclusion to this tour. Have fun!

Jakobshorn Summit (2590 m)

Highlight • Summit

The Jakobshorn is certainly one of the best regions in the world in winter. Only a few are here in the summer. All the better! Trails for you alone to heat and enjoy.

Rinerhorn S1 Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Coming from Sertig (Original Alps Epic Trail direction) without Ebike very difficult. Great trail down from the Rinnerhorn.

S2 trail near Monstein

Highlight • Trail

Steadily up and down along the elevation curve, this is probably the best way to describe this section of the Alps Epic Trail. The part lies between Rinerhorn and Monstein and more than lives up to the trail name.

Veltlinerstübli Monstein

Small restaurant in a romantic mountain village. Let yourself be pampered in a cozy atmosphere. In the Gässalibeizli Jenisberg, the hosts offer you a selection of local specialties such as pizzoccheri, barley soup, Jenisberger Salsiz, Jenisberger boiled sausage as well as cakes made fresh every day from the bakery high above the Landwasser Gorge. Good, regional and nice.

Alp Epic Davos, another highlight. Summary right away. I was glad to have ridden an e-bike, even with that I was quite exhausted...
You should definitely have the tour on your navigation device, there are simply no signs for the Epic.
The most epic part begins at Jakobshorn, comparable to the Hackelberg Trail in Saalbach, maybe even better. To have …

September 9, 2023,Swiss Epic Alps Trail Davos 🇨🇭

The Epic Alps Trail Davos was declared one of the best trails in the world by the IMBA in 2014. High expectations that need to be fulfilled.

After shelling out 51 euros for the one-way trip to the Jakobshorn, the first half is pretty sobering... the trail is quite blocked with rocks and roots and with many long counter climbs. …

After yesterday's relatively relaxed tour, today on the last day things really got down to business again. The full-length Alps Epic Trail was on the program. The first part from the Jakobshorn to the Oberen Alpe had a few uncomfortable stone fields at the beginning, but overall we made good progress. Then it went up and down (rather up) to …

Well, the trail is nice, but the time of 4 hours can only be managed with absolute top condition and probably only with an e-bike. And then you can't see anything from the trail because you're just pedaling. For mere mortals with a Bio Bike, a time between 7 and 9 hours is more realistic
