Uphill flow – and what’s behind it
New riding experience on an e-bike
Thanks to Uphill Flow, steep climbs become pure riding pleasure. The day tour becomes an evening ride. And even long journeys up to the most beautiful single trails are forgotten in an instant. No wonder: e-bikes are popular in Davos Klosters.
Unsporty, too heavy or just for seniors? The once dusty image of e-biking is long gone. Modern e-mountain bikes not only look very similar to normal bikes, they are booming. And how. The electric drive ensures that groups with different fitness levels can ride together. This is a big advantage, especially in Davos Klosters with its interval-like terrain.
Uphill flow instead of strenuous climbs
Because with an e-bike, strenuous climbs turn into easy-to-ride sections and thanks to the additional energy boost, you can easily manage a day trip in one after-work ride. In short: the focus is only on the fun of riding. And if you still want to prove your fitness, you can simply push your limits with an e-bike. Higher. Faster. Further. Have you tried it yet?
The e-bike area: Trails without carrying passages
Most of the trails that are fun with a normal bike can also be ridden with e-bikes. These score points with a decent uphill flow, especially on steep climbs like the one up to Pischa. If you prefer something gentler, take a tour into the side valleys like the Dischma or take a leisurely ride in the valley along the Landwasser. Routes with long carrying or pushing sections, on the other hand, are unsuitable.
Mandatory use of lights during the day and minimum age for e-bikes
Good to know: Since April 2022, all e-bike riders must also switch on their lights during the day. The obligation to use lights applies on all public roads. This generally also applies to field paths or bike trails. Anyone riding an e-bike without lights can be fined 20 francs. In addition, there is a minimum age of 14 years for using e-bikes in Switzerland.
5 Tips: Cycling is not the same as E-Biking.
- 03
Find the right trail
For e-biking, choose tours that don't involve long carrying or pushing sections. Because of the higher weight compared to a normal mountain bike, this can otherwise be quite an ordeal. We have specifically marked e-bike-suitable tours as such in our tour suggestions.
- 04
Think about the battery
Empty battery on the mountain? That doesn't have to happen. Find out in advance where you can recharge the battery. There are charging stations in our bike hotels, but also in the mountain huts along the way. There is also a public charging station at the lido in Klosters. Important: Always take your own charger with you.

Plan the range
Tire pressure, the selected support level, cadence, gear selection, size and weight. As you can see, many factors influence the battery range of your e-bike. Familiarize yourself with this before you start a longer tour. By the way, our e-bike hut tour is divided into three stages.
Tip: E-bike hut tour
Three days on the road, two mountain huts to stay overnight: True to the motto “Expand your limits”, the e-bike hut tour leads through the entire bike destination Davos Klosters.
Shred single trails, experience a proper uphill flow and spend the night in the rustic mountain inns Vereina and Dürrboden. In between, there are Instagram-worthy photo opportunities like a picnic at the Ravais lakes. And to finish off, there's a ride back to Davos on the nostalgic train. These are the ingredients of the new e-bike hut tour from Davos Klosters. A bike adventure that you will remember for a long time. Tip: Make your reservation early, as hut capacity is limited.
