Lenzerheide launches the extra train for mountain bikers
The new Bike-Kingdom train will run between Zurich and Chur on five consecutive Saturdays from July 16 to August 13, 2022. The special carriage, attached to the usual train composition, offers space for up to 50 people and their mountain bikes. The train journeys are accompanied by a Lenzerheide Ranger, who ensures a pleasant train journey and speedy loading and unloading of the mountain bikes. The price of CHF 89 includes both the train journey and the mountain railway ticket for Chur, Lenzerheide and Arosa, including bike transportation. The "Bike Kingdom Train Ticket" will be available from July 12, 2022 on the website bikekingdom.ch/train.
"Due to the reservation requirement for self-loading bikes introduced by SBB last year and increasing eco-awareness, there are bottlenecks at peak times. In addition, leisure traffic at weekends regularly leads to traffic congestion. This prompted us to develop a service to meet the increasing demand and to encourage people to travel by public transport. We are very pleased that SBB was receptive to our request," says Marc Schlüssel, Head of Marketing at Lenzerheide Marketing und Support AG.

Via Chur to Lenzerheide and Arosa
On arrival in Chur, bikers find themselves at the gateway to the Bike Kingdom - in "The Capital" region, as Chur is known among bike riders. From here, we recommend exploring the most beautiful trails between Chur, Lenzerheide and Arosa. The "Bike Ticket 2 Ride" is already included in the "Bike Kingdom Train Ticket". For example, the short train tour takes you on the tour "Biketicket 2 RIDE black" from Chur via the Brambrüesch mountain railroad to Churwalden, from Heidbüel via Alp Stätz to Heidsee, on to the eastern flank of Lenzerheide, via Älplisee to Arosa and finally back to Chur. This tour summarizes the trail highlights of the Bike Kingdom, pedalling almost 700 metres uphill and riding 6000 metres downhill.
