MTB Swiss Epic 2026 🇨🇭 – Stage 5 – Davos : Distance 65km | Climbing 2350m | Descent 2350m
The Swiss Epic is an annual mountain bike stage race held in the Canton of Grisons, Switzerland. It has been accredited as hors catégorie (beyond categorisation) by the Union Cycliste Internationale. It is part of the global Epic Series and is considered a Legend Race. Legend races are the top category of the global Epic Series, and any rider resolute enough to complete three Epic Series races. This status is immortalised in the form of an Epic Legend medal. The Swiss Epic was founded in 2014. Joko Vogel, Dany Gehrig, and Thomas Frischknecht had the idea of a multi-day stage race in Switzerland.
One last push. One last descent. One last chance to make it count. The final stage delivers a fast and emotional finale, climbing to Clavadeleralp (2,007 m) before linking together some of Davos’ most iconic trails. Ride through the fairytale forests of Junkerboden, pass the picturesque village of Monstein, and enjoy spectacular sections of the Alps Epic Trail Davos and the historic Old Zügen Trail above the dramatic Zügen Gorge.
A final push on the Ischalp Trail leads onto the Bolgen Trail, where one last flowing descent carries you back to Davos. The mountains release you and you realise: you conquered the Alps.
