Alpenbrevet

“Experience – Adventure – Challenge“ ! Earn your alpine certificate on some of Switzerland’s most famous passes, right in the heart of the Alps!

Choose between the Silver (131km), Gold (172km) or Platinum (276km) tour and ride over legends such as the Grimsel, Furka, and Gotthard passes. The great thing about this race is that you can decide as you ride which route to take depending on how the legs are feeling!

Please book early - places disappear rapidly and we recommend booking by March - April at the latest to secure your place. Booking early also gives you a season goal to work towards!
