The best "Morning Flow Ride" of all time?

When 150 mountain bikers ride up to the Parsenn cable car early in the morning during the ski season, it's the Morning Flow Ride in Davos. The longest descent in Switzerland on snow beckons, from the Weissfluh summit to Küblis, around 2000 meters below. Perfect slopes, the bright morning sun and the odd luz make the 150 participants grin permanently.

A bulging list of participants gives it away - the Morning Flow Ride 2019 is sold out. For once, it's not skiers but mountain bikers who will be dominating the early Saturday morning scene at the Parsenn cable car valley station for the eighth time.

Strengthened by their croissants, the 150 participants swarm towards the funicular and the unique biking experience on the slopes of Davos. And they couldn't be better: the snow conditions are perfect and the descent on snow only ends around 250 meters above Küblis.

The descent is handled as creatively as every year: whether drifting accurately, down the steep sections at 80 km/h or next to the bike on the seat of your pants. Everyone has their own technique for mastering the twelve-kilometre descent from the Weissfluh summit down to Küblis. No matter how, the grins on the faces of the piste conquerors are impossible to wipe off their faces and continue on the return journey on the Rhaetian Railway.

Voices such as "the conditions have never been as good as today" or "that was the best Morning Flow Ride ever" can be heard and the participants are not sparing with their praise.
This and a big thank you also go to the Davos/Klosters mountain railroads, the Rhaetian Railway, the "Alte Schwende" mountain lodge and Ivan's Velosport. Without partners like these, the organization of such an event would not be possible.
