It's been a busy month for Lenzerheide. Not only did they host their first World Cup round, with XC as well as DH, the resort also played host to the Swiss National only a few weeks later.
But what else can the bike park and various lifts offer in the region? We headed out after the World Cup to find out what sort of Swiss delights were on offer. What we found was a truly diverse collection of singletrack options, mixed in with some truly enjoyable bike park offerings.
The main gondola access to the Bike Park is on the east side of the resort. The west side is half face and 160mm trail bikes or less only, which the resort feels and knows helps keep the walker/mountain biker relations in a happy state. With a new gondola being built this summer to improve access to this side, we can't wait to go exploring next year.
After taking gondola Rothorn 1 to the top of the bikepark, you can take the aerial railway Rothorn 2 even further up the mountain. Even though you are one the same mountain, the scenery changes and the views get cranked up to 11. After packing away the downhill bikes for the day it was time for the trail bikes to take us deep into the valley and start lapping from 2,865m above sea level all the way down to Lenzerheide at 1,475m. Yes we said lap.
It's worth noting that Lenzerheide offers a special sunrise ride - definitely worth a look,

Well there you have it, a showcase in to what's on offer from Lenzerheide lifts. We had the best couple of days there and would like to thank Tobias, Gstaad Scott team and everyone else who got involved.
Check out this link for more information and make sure you plan a trip this summer. If you stay in a
Lenzerheide hotel you'll also get a free lift ticket, which puts the cherry on top.

I have nothing against carbon man, as I said before it is rider preference according to his budget his type of riding and the trails he rides.
where is the test "lambda rider crashes with his carbon bike on a rock section because he is not skilled as greg minnaar" ?
tsss, people are still using the same dumd arguments and still don't get it : yeah, carbon is hip, carbon is sexy, carbon is stiff, light and rich kids like it.
But carbon isnt for "not sponsored" people who are used to crash
@Narro2 if you listen to the commentary, the frame was minaars, used, then given to one of the staff to use for a season, there's nothing different from that frame to one bought by you or me. If anything that frame "could" be deemed as weaker as it's been used a lot.
Saying carbon isn't for "non sponsored" riders who crash is just sour grapes... There's nothing wrong with carbon for use by Us "Normal riders". Been riding carbon frames for 5 years now, I'm no pro rider but when I crash it tends to be messy, my carbon frame has performed brilliantly and I have no complaints at all...
No one is forcing anyone to buy carbon, each to their own, I don't like 29ers. Doesn't mean they're crap, just means they're not for me..
