Corviglia: Biking on Mount Olympus

Olympia Flow Trail auf Corviglia

Did you know? If you enjoy the trails on Corviglia, you are doing so where the Olympic Games have already been hosted twice. Okay, it was the 1928 and 1948 Winter Games, but in summer in particular, the sports mountain in the beautiful Upper Engadine offers unforgettable mountain biking experiences and a 5-ring offer.

 

Faster, further, higher: the original Olympic motto could also stand for all the single, flow and alpine trails that wind their way through the "Olympic" mountain and lake terrain. As a warm-up lap before or as a lap of honour after a varied and, depending on your preference, challenging mountain bike tour, you can ride the Olympia Flow Trail down most of the 1948 Olympic slope and write your own Olympic history.

Olympic discipline: book & check in.

At ALL IN ONE HOTEL INN LODGE in Celerina, the simple, modern and wonderfully uncomplicated bike and sports hotel, mountain bikers will find everything they need for an ideal base camp and an inexpensive active vacation instead of a lot of frills: spacious rooms with two to six beds, a sumptuous breakfast buffet, a cozy bar-lounge plus the infrastructure expected of a bike hotel such as a mountain bike washing station, a lockable bike room, a service corner, washing machine and drying room. The hotel is just a few pedal strokes from the Celerina valley station, is located directly on the "Bike Olympus" and offers great packages: For example, the mountain railroads all-inclusive offer, with which the mountain railway ticket for passenger and bike transportation in the Upper Engadine is free from the second night and for the entire duration of your stay, or the Midweek Bike Special, which turns the five days between weekends into a real week of enjoyment and also turns out to be a real bargain.

Olympic discipline: ride up & enjoy.

It goes without saying that bikers will find everything they need to make their stay here as relaxing and impressive as possible, from the opening to the closing ceremony. Seven mountain railroads take bikers and their equipment to where the sporting adventure can begin: up to 3000 meters above sea level. The crowning glory of a spectacular stay takes place right up there: the Piz Nair Sunrise, aptly christened the "Piz Nair Sunride" by bikers.

The motto of the Summer Olympics in Paris is also rechristened here: from "Games wide open" to "Trails wide open", to which the following mountain railways - now with the Suvretta chairlift as an additional supplier - will also be transporting bikes:

  • St. Moritz Bad-Signal aerial cableway
  • Suvretta-Randolins chairlift
  • St. Moritz Dorf-Chantarella-Cantarella chairlift
  • . Moritz Dorf-Chantarella-Corviglia
  • Corviglia-Piz Nair aerial cableway
  • Celerina-Marguns gondola
  • Marguns-Corviglia chairlift
  • Corvatsch aerial cableway

Olympic discipline: be there & come back

The Olympics in Paris will already be history on August 12, 2024. The summer season on and around the "Bike Olympics" Corviglia, on the other hand, will last for another two months: this year until October 20! If you can, you should also take part in the Indian Summer in the Engadin, which easily wins the gold medal every year.
