Description

Arosa will host the Spar Swiss Epic in 2022. Part of the official route can already be driven as a test track. In addition, everyone has the opportunity to participate in the corresponding photo challenge. 

This is test track A, with around 20.5 kilometers it is slightly longer than the test track B. The tour starts in Arosa and leads in a slight ascent via Prätschli to the Rot Tritt. From there it continues over the Scheidegg, past the Maraner Hauptji to the middle station of the cable car Arosa-Weisshorn. The route leads over the Sattelalp to Innerarosa, where the lower part of the Hörnli Trail ensures a flowing descent. Afterwards an idyllic brook is crossed and the tour goes uphill again through the shady forest. A last detour leads through the wildly romantic Welschtobel and the Iselwald before returning to Arosa via Untersee. 

Photo challenge:
If you complete the test track and shoot a creative picture at each of the marked points, you have the opportunity to win a participation in the Swiss Epic 2023. 

Here's how it works:

  1. Riding the test track by mountain bike
  2. Take a cool photo at every photo point
  3. Either post the photos on social media and tag them @bearmountains or upload them in this form
  4. Bear Mountains Arosa will repost the photos
  5. After the Swiss Epic 2022, the most creative series of images will be selected. The winner will be allowed to start at the Swiss Epic in summer 2023 on behalf of Arosa Tourism
