Description

In 2022, Arosa is the venue for the Spar Swiss Epic. Part of the official route can already be ridden as a test track. In addition, everyone has the opportunity to take part in the associated photo challenge.


This is Test Track B, which is around 11.5 kilometers and somewhat shorter than Test Track A. The route starts in Arosa and leads from there through the village with a slight incline to Innerarosa. From Innerarosa, it continues to the beautiful Schwellisee and then via a steep climb towards Arven. The climb is rewarded with an easy single trail that convinces with a magnificent view of the Schwellisee and the village of Arosa. Afterwards, the route passes under the Hörnli Express and above the village back to Arosa station.
