MTB Swiss Epic 2026 🇨🇭 – Stage 1 – La Punt, Engadin : Distance 81km | Climbing 2650m | Descent 2650m
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.
The Swiss Epic begins where flow meets freedom. Stage 1 takes riders deep into the Engadin, blending fast valley sections, playful singletrails, and iconic alpine highlights. Climb towards Albulapass, ride the legendary Albula Trail, and traverse high above the tree line on the Muntatsch–Marguns ridge.
From turquoise moments at Lej Alv to flowing descents like WM Flow Trail Corviglia and Foppettas, the stage is a constant mix of rhythm and surprise. Fast valley stretches along the Inn River and historic trails through the Engadin complete the opening chapter. This is where it begins: confidence builds, rhythm forms, and the Swiss Epic comes alive.
