Seven downhill races: Swiss Downhill Cup announces 2021 race dates

The Swiss Downhill Cup "Hot Trail Series" presents seven race dates for the 2021 season. The kick-off will take place at the end of May in Buttes, and with Leysin, the race series has Swiss Championships and Cup races in one. The race series is open to licensed and unlicensed Open categories, the latter from 2010 onwards.

With Buttes La Robella, an old classic is returning to host the season opener on 29/30 May 2021, followed by the classic, high-speed race on the Wiriehorn in the eponymous HOT-TRAIL Bike Park on 19/20 June. With Leysin, a former World Cup organizer is even returning to the racing stage. In 2020, a new downhill course was created in the Vaud summer and winter destination. The new track will host the Swiss Championships and Hot Trail Series all in one from July 16 to 18, 2021.

The race series continues on August 21/22 in La Berra. The municipality in the canton of Friboug has proven itself as a venue over the past two years. Race number five will take place on September 25/26 in Saint Luc (VS). The town in Val d' Anniviers used to be an integral part of the Swiss Downhill Cup and is now joining the Hot Trail series.

The penultimate race can be described as "Everybodys Darling", as the anticipation for the downhill in Bellwald is always huge. The race is also part of the iXS Downhill Cup on October 2 - 3, 2021 (the only Swiss race in this series) and is also ranked in the HOT-TRAIL Series. The finale of the Hot Trail Series is an actual spring classic. The Homberg Race has been postponed to the fall due to the coronavirus pandemic and will conclude the series on October 23/24. The race has been held for 25 years. The overall winners will therefore be crowned at an absolutely legendary and historic location.

Due to the still uncertain corona situation, the race calendar can be adapted to the situation.
