Over the glacier at 140 km/h

On March 16, 2019, it's that time again. Then, for the 16th time, around 200 mountain bikers will thunder down the Glacier Bike Downhill from Mittelallalin over the Fee Glacier to Saas Fee. Top speeds of up to 140 km/h are expected and the organizing committee is also hoping for a new course record.

The Glacier Bike Downhill is a race, fun and an exclusive experience all in one. Rarely do mountain bikers have the opportunity to race downhill on a groomed ski slope. In Saas Fee on 16 March 2019, there will be the 16th opportunity to conquer the 1,700 meters of altitude difference on the 8.4-kilometre-long ski slope.

Last year, Swiss skier Patrik Koller took just 7:10 minutes to complete the route from Mittelallalin over the Fee Glacier down to Saas Fee. "We're hoping for a new record this year," says Susanne Voide, marketing employee at Saastal Bergbahnen. And some of the 150 mountain bikers who have already registered are certainly vying for it.
Registrations for the Glacier Bike Downhill will be accepted until March 15.
