The 8 km long circular trail in Zernez is ideal as a training route for both trained and racing skiers. The trail starts at the sports and cross-country centre in the middle of Zernez and offers ambitious cross-country skiers a challenging and varied circular trail over a length of 8 km with about 250 metres of altitude. After cross-country skiing, a visit to the family pool or a detour to the National Park Centre is recommended.

Author’s recommendation

The family pool, sports restaurant and the cross-country skiing and sports centre Zernez are all located at the cross-country skiing and sports centre Zernez.
