As announced two weeks ago, ÖKK will not "only" be the main partner of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Lenzerheide. As part of this three-year partnership, the insurance company is also supporting year-round tourism platforms in the popular Graubünden vacation region. "With our commitment in Lenzerheide, we are not only close to the biking sport during the World Cup weekend, but throughout the entire season," says Patrick Eisenhut, Head of Communications at ÖKK. This is why the insurance company is also involved in the recently launched "Bike Kingdom" - the new brand of the bike region around Lenzerheide, Arosa and Chur: by "taking over" the famous cross-country route at the Rothorn valley station.

This route has made history. The bike pros have shed gallons of sweat and sometimes tears (whether out of sorrow or joy). The 2018 World Championships remain unforgettable, when local hero Nino Schurter won the World Championship title in front of a roaring home crowd. In his words, the highlight of his great career so far - alongside his Olympic victory in Rio 2016.Therefore: honor to whom honor is due. Nino Schurter dedicates his favorite track to the namesake ÖKK. It is now officially called "Ninos Gold-Trail by ÖKK". "I feel very honored that this World Championship highlight now bears my name," says the reigning Olympic mountain bike champion.
During June, massive granite cairns with the new trail name will be installed on the course. The previously exclusive World Cup route will then be accessible to everyone and free to ride. More at bikekingdom.ch.
