What is the future of mountain bike tourism? What are the prospects and opportunities for summer versus winter tourism? And how can these be optimally planned and implemented? This was discussed at the sixth "Ride Congress" on September 19 and 20. Almost 200 experts from the tourism industry once again gathered at the congress center in Davos.

Biking together but how? How can I spend my bike vacation together with my children without it ending in a mutiny? The multimedia presentation by the two mountain bike veterans Karen Eller and Holger Meyer provides entertaining answers.

"The success of a ski resort is not based on summer guests," Dr. Markus Schröcksnadel is convinced. As Managing Director of Vereinigte Bergbahnen GmbH in Switzerland, he is a well-known investor in Saas Fee and Savognin. Markus Schröcksnadel will be speaking at the Ride Congress on September 19/20 and will take part in the subsequent discussion. Many top-class keynote speakers who are well-known throughout the industry will present their views on mountain biking and summer tourism in the mountains: for example, Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems, HotellerieSuisse President Andreas Züllig and Daniel-Müller Jentsch from Avenir Suisse as representatives of the bike industry.

Herbert is now offering a new bookable package: New and exclusive to Herbert, you can tackle the original route of the "Swiss Epic Graubünden 2019", but confidently leave the powering out to others - because there are options everywhere to make ascents easier with mountain railroads, post buses or the Rhaetian Railway.

On Wednesday, June 26, 2019, World Shovel Day took place for the fourth time. Graubünden celebrated the start of the mountain bike season in the mountains.

Herbert and his buddies shovelled like the wildest berserkers at various locations in Graubünden.

Much of the terrain is now rideable - but it was a David versus Goliath battle.

What is the challenge of the 2019 mountain bike summer? If you want to know how it turns out when the two TREK Gravity Girls Steffi Marth and Kathi Kuypers let themselves be challenged, you will find the answer in the new film: "2 Superheroines vs. Bahnentour Arosa Lenzerheide". But don't underestimate these two, they have superpowers.

There's been a real thaw in the mountains for a few days now. The sun is melting, rain is washing away, hot air would be fine too, but Herbert is shoveling! For the start of the cable car season on the weekend of June 29 and 30, Herbert and his friends are digging through the snow fields to clear the top trails.

On Saturday, March 30, the eighth edition of the "Morning Flow Ride" on the Weissfluh summit in Davos will once again be a mountain bike summit event. Be there when the longest bike descent in Switzerland opens on snow.

This Friday evening, mountain bikers will be sounding the hunting horn in Arosa. Now is still the right time to decide to go hunting for Hörnli at the weekend. Hunting Hörnli in Arosa doesn't mean shooting "squirrels" or dehorning the Grisons ibexes Gian and Giachen, but collecting trails at the Hörnli Trail Hunt, with a well-organized supporting programme from Friday evening 10 to Sunday 12 August.

Knit is currently the upper material of choice for shoe manufacturers. From sneakers to climbing and mountain bike shoes - the knitted material is all the rage. It is said to provide a new feeling of comfort and, thanks to its improved adaptability, better power transmission. We tested what the new edition of Grandma's knitting skills can do off-road on the "Empire VR70 Knit" from Giro.

The Snow Bike Festival is taking place for the third time, and for the second time in Gstaad in the Bernese Oberland. For two years, Nathalie Schneitter successfully resisted starting the racing season in January in sub-zero temperatures. This year, however, the cross-country ace is giving the adventure a chance and reporting daily for us on this unique bike event.
