Lenzerheide receives approval to host the 2022 World Cup

Lenzerheide can also look forward to a mountain bike double event in summer 2022. From July 8 to 10, 2022, the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup with the disciplines Cross-Country Olympic (XCO) including Cross-Country Short Track (XCC) and Downhill (DHI) will take place on the Parpaner Rothorn.

While Lenzerheide was still missing as a venue on the 2022 UCI race calendar published at the beginning of the year, the confirmation for another mountain bike double event in 2022 is now on the table. The organizers around OC President Christoph Müller are delighted: "In recent years, Lenzerheide has built up a great deal of expertise in terms of World Cup organization. We are looking forward to the opportunity to prove once again that we can organize a great mountain bike festival."

Next stop: UCI Mountain Bike World Cup 2021

Before the organizational work for the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup 2022 begins, the organization of this year's World Cup from 3 to 5 September 2021 is still on the agenda. Unlike last year, when there was hardly any planning certainty for major events and the World Cup had to be canceled around two months before the event date, the current situation looks better. Thanks to the three-phase model proposed by the Federal Council to combat the coronavirus pandemic, the event can - as things stand today - be guaranteed to take place, possibly even with a limited number of visitors. The organizing committee is currently working at full speed on the implementation concept. Further information on this year's UCI Mountain Bike World Cup can be expected from the beginning of July.
