In 2024, the Mountain Bike World Cup will move from south-eastern to western Switzerland and will be held in Crans-Montana from June 20 to 23. The well-known tourist destination is a complete newcomer to the cross-country circus and has already had a taste of it with the Swiss Championships. World Cup rider Vital Albin analyzed the course for Ride.

In 2023, the Swiss Cross Country and Short Track Championships were held in Crans-Montana. Vital Albin analyzed the course with a view to the World Cup. Since then, the course designers have been working hard. Now the World Cup riders will ride the adapted circuit for the first time on June 22 and 23. It is considered to be perhaps the toughest course in the World Cup, has caused many training crashes and has led to a number of prophecies of doom. Albin is now back on camera and shares his thoughts on the new course.
