After its premiere last year, the Traillove Festival 2019 is getting an extra boost thanks to a varied range of new events. With the aim of uniting the various facets of cycling and mountain biking in a unique setting, the young festival will set the hearts of all two-wheel enthusiasts racing with a promising program.

Derby atmosphere on the Matterhorn

It's time for something new - with the Traillove Derby, a format is being created that will allow participants from all over the world to experience the diversity of biking in the destination of Zermatt in a fun way. Over the course of three days, around 50 teams of two will tackle various tasks and explore the trail highlights around the Matterhorn.
A good portion of Zermatt cuisine, special evening programs and a cosy get-together are not to be missed. Thanks to the attractive all-inclusive package, the derby teams can concentrate fully on biking.

Ultrafondo, enduro spectacle or family day

Traillove connects. So it is quite possible that Sam Hill and Fabian Cancellara will meet in Zermatt. In addition to the Traillove Derby, this year's festival will be launched with the arrival of Chasing Cancellara on Thursday 19 September 2019. After the start in Zurich at the Primetower, Cancellara and his 500 or so pursuers have a good 290 kilometers and 7000 vertical meters ahead of them until the Matterhorn welcomes them in Zermatt - an ultra-fondo in a class of its own.

The season finale of the Enduro World Series reaches its climax with the race on Saturday, September 21. The champions of the series will be crowned in Zermatt! Thanks to the proximity to the village, most of the individual downhill stages are easily accessible for spectators. The central starting point will be the festival area in the village center. Ideal for experiencing the World Series circus up close.
A worthy closing party with all participants is also a must on Saturday.

Zermatt under the sign of the trail

As last year, many specialists from the trail building sector, the bike industry and public organizations will meet at the Trail Building Summit following the Traillove Festival. In addition to the latest findings in the field of trail building, the focus will be on topics such as coexistence and the importance of trail infrastructure for the development of the sport. The aim of the summit is to strengthen international expertise and promote exchange in order to guarantee sustainable development in trail building.
