Rushing downhill by mountain bike for 10,000 meters in one day and never on the same trail - that's what the Bahnentour Davos stands for. Remo Thommen and Damian Ineichen were convinced that this is also possible in Valais. Their 100-kilometre trail journey took them from the Illhorn to Zermatt, not quite efficiently, but on the best trails. Did they still manage the 10'000?

On June 11, the Aletsch Arena in Valais will start the 2022 season with a new feature: the region now has a flow trail that rides from the mountain station of the Wurzenbord chairlift down to Bettmeralp.

The Bellwald bike park is being expanded as part of Vision 2024. The first stage of expansion is a four-kilometre flow trail from the Fleschen middle station with a planned opening in June 2021. In 2022, bike park operations will be suspended due to the construction of the new chairlift, but another trail will be built in the meantime. The expansion is set to continue at this pace until the end of 2024.

In Belalp, the almost six-kilometre Häxu Trail, which rides to Blatten, has been opened. The descent consists of new sections and existing trails that have been optimized as part of the maintenance work. The IBR planning office and the newly founded trail construction company "vast trails GmbH" were involved in the implementation of the blue-red trail in collaboration with Forst Massa.

The new flow trail from Kreuzboden to Trift is the missing link. Now it goes from Hohsaas at 3200 meters above sea level in a continuous descent to Saas Grund at 1560 meters. The opening is on Saturday, August 27.

Ride has prepared the route of the 2019 Marathon World Championships in Grächen in its tour database. Conclusion: The route of the 2019 Marathon World Championships is possibly the most attractive race course the sport of marathoning has ever seen. The route can now be downloaded from the Ride tour database.
