Conquering alpine passes
Road cycling over the Flüela pass in Davos Klosters.

The Tour de Suisse’s favourite road bike destination

In Davos Klosters you can feel like Fausto Coppi, Hugo Koblet or Peter Winnen when you conquer the cycling classics Flüela Pass and Albula Pass on your racing bike. Tours into the side valleys are more leisurely but no less spectacular.

There are things that every racing cyclist must do at least once in their life. One of these is the round trip over the Albula and Flüela passes. Today it is considered a cycling classic. No wonder: Davos has been a stage location of the Tour de Suisse twelve times - more than any other Swiss mountain resort. Racing cyclists conquer steep ramps and sometimes narrow serpentines. Rapid descents from the pass heights at over 2000 m above sea level are worth all the effort. By the way: If you run out of breath on the way, the Rhaetian Railway or the post bus will take you back anywhere.
