The Silvretta Bike Arena between Ischgl and Samnaun in Switzerland offers almost limitless possibilities for the "Overmountain Challenge" with its countless trails. As the "European Enduro Open", participation in the Ischgl Overmountain Challenge is open to everyone and offers every enthusiastic biker the chance to spend a weekend racing over the high alpine trails with stars of the scene. Enduro stars such as Jérôme Clementz (FRA) and Mark Weir (USA) have confirmed their participation. Other top international athletes such as Gusti Wildhaber (SUI) and Germany's living downhill legend Markus Klausmann, as well as numerous amateur enduro riders, will be making the pilgrimage to Ischgl for this top-class sporting event. In total, over 300 riders from 19 nations will be competing.

In addition to the Challenge, the parties are also an important part of the Enduro happening. On Saturday evening, after the Incity Prologue, participants can talk shop over a beer at the "Cannondale Race Party" or simply enjoy the evening with like-minded people. Very few riders will be riding too steeply, as the first participants start at 09:00 on Sunday. On the enduro circuit, five downhill stages will test the enduro riders' strength, stamina and concentration. In return, the route offers plenty of trail enjoyment and downhill fun.
The winners of the first "European Enduro Open" will be crowned at 4 p.m. in the start/finish area at the Silvretta parking lot.
