From the start of the season to the World Cup, team races, and the Kids Cup, all the way to the major test event: In 2026, Bike Kingdom will offer a diverse program of events for female mountain bikers, families, young riders, and the international biking community.

Lenzerheide kicks off the cycling season on June 6 and 7, 2026, with the Bike Kingdom Opening. Cycling enthusiasts will gather around the Rothorn valley station for the season opener, featuring races, side events, a pop-up market, a flea market, food trucks, a kids’ program, and music. The focus is on community, the joy of riding, and starting the cycling summer together.

Just a few days later, the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Lenzerheide from June 19–21, 2026, will provide a sporting highlight. The international mountain bike elite will compete in the disciplines of Short Track, Cross Country Olympic, and Downhill. Lenzerheide will once again become the stage for world-class sports, exciting races, and a great atmosphere along the courses.

A special race format awaits on July 4, 2026, with Last Rider Standing. At Bike Kingdom Park Lenzerheide, teams of two will race against the gondola. Each lap will be timed more tightly, as the gondola sets the pace and gets faster from lap to lap. Anyone who doesn’t get back on in time is eliminated. Riding takes place on official park trails, making the format a blend of endurance, technique, strategy, and teamwork.

From July 10–12, 2026, the Bike Kingdom Hunt Arosa will transform the region into a playground for trail enthusiasts. Teams of two or three plan their own route, collect checkpoints, and tackle various skill challenges. Depending on the category, participants can choose between trails in Arosa, Lenzerheide, and Chur, or a more compact program focused on Arosa. In addition to tactics and riding technique, the event emphasizes shared experiences, after-ride activities, food, and music.
