Description

Behold a mountain biking paradise surrounded by 30 mountain peaks over 4,000 m and trails with all levels of difficulty! Whether you’re a beginner or advanced rider, there is something for everyone in this utopia of MTB trails.

More into descents rather than climbs? There’s a series of railways, cable cars and lifts to help you and your bike get around easily. Check out the Zermatt Bike Pass for unlimited travel to Sunnegga/Rothorn, Gornergrat, and Schwarzsee for up to a week.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly trail or simply a relaxing day outing, Schwarzsee features breathtaking scenery as well as numerous attractions and restaurants to stop along the way for a quick rest.

The Bike-Tour Kelle trail is especially interesting for advanced riders. It’s a challenging route with steep slopes and a few serpentines and also features stunning views!

Adventures

Sunnegga-Trail

Flow and fun are among the main attractions of the new Sunnegga-Trail - for beginners and pros alike. You'll definitely want to ride it more than once.

Bike-Tour Schwarzsee - Zermatt

Highlights of this leisurely ride include mountain scenery full of contrasts with numerous attractions and restaurants along the way. Perfect for a relaxed outing with friends or family.

Moos-Trail

On the Moos-Trail, every bike rider experiences a major adventure in the bike paradise of Zermatt - Matterhorn. The super soft tour from the hamlet of Furi to Zermatt is ideal for taking excellent advantage of gravity. Chainless too!

Bike-Tour Rothorn - Zermatt

What a run! The downhill from Rothorn to Zermatt entails a vertical drop of 1,678 m. Top tip: stay relaxed and enjoy the ride!

Bike-Tour Zermatt - Riffelalp

This bike trail reveals a beautiful and highly diverse mountain landscape around Zermatt. The route leads through forests, across alpine pastures and up to former glacial landscapes.

Gornergrat

A scenic and at times technically demanding tour in one of Switzerlands must see locations.

Europaweg

Rothorn is a little less touristy than Gornergrat, but still offers some stunning views of the Matterhorn and some great trails too.

Bike-Tour Yo-Yo

This route from Stafel via Kalbermatten and Zmutt to Zermatt is a surprisingly winding single-track trail. There are some extreme sections towards the end, so it's a route that's only suitable for mountain bikers with a head for heights.

Bike-Tour Kelle

This route is suitable for experienced mountain bikers, as the single-track path winds its way down some steep slopes and includes a few serpentines. It is one of the most difficult routes in the destination Zermatt - Matterhorn. If you are brave enough to take your eyes off the trail for a second, you'll see some stunning views.
