Press release Lenzerheide-Valbella

From this summer, the bike region of the vacation resort will have a new look. The more than 250 km of signposted routes from Churwalden via Parpan, Valbella, Lenzerheide, Lantsch/Lenz and Brienz have been redesigned. From easy to extreme, from leisurely to sporty, from a family ride to a 100 km marathon tour, each of the 14 tours has its own name and is marked with difficulty levels. A challenge for bikers of all abilities. All routes are described in detail on the new bike map at a scale of 1:40,000 and at www.bikerheide.ch. The map is available in all tourist offices, mountain railway ticket offices in the region and will soon be available in the Move online store. The individual tours can be downloaded directly from the internet.

Biker specialties are now also available in the catering sector. There are special biker menus on the menus of the biker-friendly mountain restaurants. The drinking bottle is filled with fresh mountain water and in cold and wet weather, woollen blankets are even provided to warm you up. Guided bike tours are still part of the offer in Lenzerheide-Valbella. At the bike meeting every Wednesday at 7 pm, guests can benefit from the insider knowledge of the locals. "Bike without luggage worries", where luggage is transported from hotel to hotel by train and post bus, is still a popular offer.

The bike mecca is rounded off by three top-class bike events. On August 9/10, 2003, the 6th Bike Attack Freeride Marathon from Parpaner Rothorn to Chur will take place. On August 23/24, 2003, the ewz Alpen Challenge, a racing bike trophy over the most beautiful passes in Graubünden, will start and finish in Lantsch/Lenz. From September 9 to 13, 2003, the Maxim Mountain Rally will ride in 5 stages from the starting point in Chur via Lenzerheide, Davos, Pontresina and St. Maria to Scuol. The latest bikes for the 2004 season can be tested off-road during the test week from 17.9.-21.9.03.
