In September 2025, the first combined mountain bike world championships in history will be held in Valais. Seven disciplines are on the program, including enduro and e-bike - two disciplines that are extremely popular with recreational athletes in this country. Development is now also progressing rapidly in competitive sport, with the Swiss championships being held for the second time this year.

The national champions in the Enduro discipline will be determined on the weekend of June 11/12 in Laax. The course will comprise four stages, the details of which will only be published a week before the title fights. Last October's premiere saw a double victory for Neuchâtel. While 30-year-old Patrick Lüthi was the co-favorite in the Lötschental, 20-year-old Lisa Baumann surprisingly prevailed against the favored twins Anita and Carolin Gehrig. The latter will enjoy home advantage in Laax.The reprise of the Swiss Championships in the young e-bike discipline will take place on the weekend of September 10/11, just like the first edition in Disentis. The race will be ridden on a technically demanding three-kilometre circuit with an altitude difference of 200 meters. The search is on for the successor to 35-year-old Nathalie Schneitter from Solothurn and the successor to 38-year-old Jürg Graf from St. Gallen. The title races will be held as part of the Disentis Bike Festival.swissenduro.ch
