Exciting games and fantastic trails at the 2nd Rocky Mountain TRAIL GAMES

Lasting team experiences, magnificent mountain scenery and exciting "games" on the trails were enjoyed by over 100 participants at the second edition of the "Rocky Mountain Trail Games" last weekend. For three days from August 11 to 13, the teams of two and three had to solve various special tasks on the region's trails.

The focus of the event was not necessarily on speed, but on coordination and harmony within the team. Tasks such as "Flow Brother" had to be mastered: The aim of this challenge was for the team partners to complete a route in the same time if possible - without being able to see each other. Another task entitled "Catch the Time" involved choosing a time from three given times and riding the trail in exactly this time - without using aids such as watches or cell phones, of course.

In the end, two professionals came out on top: Angie Hohenwarter and Oliver Dorn and their team #oliverundangelika collected the most points over the three days. "I'm actually only into racing, but the individual tasks were more difficult than I thought and were great fun," said Oli Dorn on Sunday after crossing the finish line. And Angie Hohenwarter was surprised: "We usually never ride together, but the coordination on the trail worked better than we thought."

With over one hundred participants, the "Rocky Mountain Trail Games" almost doubled the number of participants compared to the premiere last August. There were also a number of repeaters such as the "Bayeride" team with Tina Rose and Andreas Kohl. We were already thrilled last year, but this year it was even more fun," said the two participants in unison. And that despite somewhat adverse weather conditions on Friday with a few hail showers and a few centimeters of fresh snow on the approach to a special stage on Saturday. However, the sun came out from midday on Saturday and the Upper Engadin presented itself from its best side on the final Sunday, so that the two trails from the 3057-metre-high Piz Nair formed the highlight of the event.

At the end, there were beaming faces, valuable prizes and stylish trophies for the best teams in four different classes.
