The Hörnli Trail Hunt 2019 with slight route adjustments
Bikers' hearts beat faster when they think of the flowing descents of the Hörnli Trail Hunt. The trail weekend of superlatives is taking place for the third time this summer. Teams of two start and the fastest group wins. The aim is to complete various posts and find the fastest route to the finish line.
Official opening of the "Hörnli Trail" flow trail
Many mountain bikers are also eagerly awaiting the new Hörnli Trail. The flow trail with 113 changes of direction and a length of 6.8 kilometers guarantees flow from start to finish. The idyllic mountain scenery around the trail and the perfect fit into the terrain make the descent a unique experience. The "Hörnli Trail" flow trail will be officially opened on Saturday, June 29, 2019 as part of the Hörnli Trail Hunt.
Registration status
At present, well over 100 teams have already registered. This pleases the organizers "Arosa Tourismus" as well as "Die Rasenmäher" and suggests another record number of participants. Holger Meyer, owner of "Die Rasenmäher" is full of anticipation: "We can look forward to a sporting event with a great atmosphere! The bike community in Arosa Lenzerheide is growing and growing and the Hörnli Trailjagd is getting bigger and bigger. We are delighted that our competition format is so popular. With the new start on the Hörnli and the new flow trail, we can offer even more fun and adventure on the trails."

The race format
The varied race format was invented by Holger Meyer and Karen Eller. The two are former professional mountain bikers and have been running mountain bike camps throughout Europe for many years under the name "The Lawnmowers". They have been running the famous scavenger hunt in Sölden for twelve years and the dumpling hunt in Val Gardena, South Tyrol, for a little less time. Since 2017, the race format has also been available in Switzerland, in the Arosa Lenzerheide bike region.
