No events will take place in Lenzerheide in June 2020

The federal government's measures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are hitting the event industry hard - including in Lenzerheide. The Bike Kingdom Opening, which would have taken place from June 19 to 21, 2020, has been postponed to the weekend of September 18 to 20, 2020 and will now be held as the Bike Kingdom Feast. The Alpen Challenge and the first edition of the Grinduro will have to be canceled.

There is still a glimmer of hope for the events from June 8, 2020, as a third phase of easing has been announced. However, the risk that the quality and DNA of the events would suffer too much if they were held under additional safety measures is too high. As a result, no events will take place in Lenzerheide in June 2020.

Bike Kingdom Opening

The Bike Kingdom Opening, planned for June 19-21, 2020, is currently not realistic. However, the project will be launched at the start of the summer season of the mountain railroads. The Bike Kingdom Feast is planned as a big inauguration celebration from September 18 to 20, 2020 with a party, food stands, screening of "The Legend of Tommy G", family day and various sporting highlights. While the new Bike Kingdom app will be put through its paces in an unofficial world record attempt, the Knights of Bike will compete for the title of "King and Queen of Bike" at the Dirt Royale

World Cup Lenzerheide

When and in what setting this year's Mountain Bike World Cup Lenzerheide can take place is still unclear at the moment. According to the organizers, intensive efforts are being made to find a solution to hold the event in autumn 2020. Holding the event without spectators but with TV coverage is also being considered. A final decision is to be announced at the end of May. Tickets that have already been purchased will remain valid, even if the event is postponed, but will also be refunded in full. The sale of online tickets will be suspended until further notice.
