The hunt is about to begin

This Friday evening, mountain bikers will be sounding the hunting horn in Arosa. Now is still the right time to decide to go hunting for Hörnli at the weekend. Hunting Hörnli in Arosa doesn't mean shooting "squirrels" or dehorning the Grisons ibexes Gian and Giachen, but collecting trails at the Hörnli Trail Hunt, with a well-organized supporting programme from Friday evening 10 to Sunday 12 August.

After a successful run last year, the single trail fun is taking place again this year: The trail hunt will open on Friday with beer and starter pack distribution in a relaxed atmosphere. The starting shot for the hunt will finally be fired on Saturday morning at the very top of the Weisshorn summit at 2653 meters above sea level. The Weisshorn and the other Hörnli peaks then accompany the participants in teams of two or three throughout the entire trail day: you remain surrounded by impressive horns, from the Plattenhorn to the Hörnli summit itself. Against this impressive backdrop, the hunt takes place in the middle of a true trail paradise. You can't get enough of the Hörnli, nor can you get enough of single trails, and on this day there is plenty of both.

But beware, the Arosa Hörnli Trail Hunt is no ordinary enduro event. It's not just trail skills that are required, but also a bit of hunter's wit, in which the biker must first prove himself. Skill must be demonstrated at various checkpoints. In addition, the trail bikers must first find the trail to these checkpoints in teamwork like real hunters. The right trail has to be hunted down, the right path is the goal. Always keep your eyes on the horns, which you'll get again at the very end.
Some of the missions at the checkpoints are of an animal nature, others are culinary, including a hearty bite into a Hörnli or croissant. The organizers in Arosa have thought of all Hörnli. Fun for all trail hunters - and certainly also for the horn bearers Gian and Giachen. The Grisons bucks will have a great time, at least watching, and perhaps shaking their horns at the mountain bikers.

A well-organized event that is not just about the fastest times, but also about completing the mission. Whoever solves all the fun tasks and hunts down the checkpoints is well on the way to winning the golden Hörnli. Not everything is always to be taken seriously. The beer is served at the end, at the party. For everyone! With Ghackets in a plate - with Hörnli, of course.
