Bike Kingdom's 2026 Season: A Mountain Biker's Paradise
Bike Kingdom, the ultimate mountain biking destination in the Alps, is gearing up for an exciting 2026 season. With a focus on innovation, community, and an unparalleled trail network, Bike Kingdom promises an unforgettable experience for riders of all levels.
A Season to Remember
The 2026 season kicks off on May 14th, marking the start of a long and diverse bike summer. The Bike Kingdom Park, a highlight for long summer days, will feature the Late Shred, where the Rothorn gondola runs until 20:00, allowing riders to enjoy extended after-work sessions.
The Trail Network: A Rider's Dream
Bike Kingdom boasts an extensive trail network spanning three regions and two bike parks, covering over 900 kilometers of legal trails. The Bike Kingdom Park offers five freeride classics, each with its unique character. From smooth flow to technical downhill, these trails cater to every rider's preference.
Beyond the park, the natural singletracks in Lenzerheide, Arosa, and Chur provide a more alpine, technical challenge. The Hörnli Trail in Arosa is a flow rider's paradise, while The Great White on the Parpaner Weisshorn demands precision and focus. The tour options, such as the Furcletta/Welschtobel loop, offer a physically and technically demanding experience, rewarding riders with breathtaking views and unforgettable singletrack sections.
Events: A Buzzing Summer
The 2026 event calendar is packed with exciting activities. The Bike Kingdom Opening in Lenzerheide on June 6-7th will feature races, side events, and a kick-off party. The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, in its Anniversary Edition X, will return to Lenzerheide from June 19-21st, attracting the international elite in Short Track, Cross-Country Olympic, and Downhill.
July brings community and creativity with the Last Rider Standing and Bike Kingdom Hunt Arosa. August focuses on families with the Family Bike Vibes in Arosa, followed by the Bike Kingdom Testride in September, offering the latest bike and gear testing. The Bike Kingdom Kids Cup provides a platform for young riders to showcase their skills.
Innovation: Signage 2.0 and the Learning Lab
Bike Kingdom is taking a pioneering role with the introduction of Mountain Bike Signage 2.0. Vaz/Obervaz is implementing a new system that combines a visible base network of trails, clear destination signage, and improved on-trail information, making navigation more intuitive.
The Bike Kingdom Learning Lab in Canols is being expanded into a dedicated training hub for kids and families. New tech lines, a jump line, and structured practice areas create a safe environment for riders to improve their skills and learn responsible trail behavior. Additional skill loops along the Lenzerheide valley trail offer easy ways to work on technique during regular rides.
Conclusion: A Versatile Mountain Bike Destination
With its strong mix of proven trail infrastructure, international events, and innovative developments, Bike Kingdom is poised to solidify its reputation as one of the most versatile mountain bike destinations in the Alps. The 2026 season promises an unforgettable experience for mountain bikers, offering a perfect blend of adventure, community, and innovation.
