THE BEST GRAVEL EXPERIENCE IN THE SOUTHERN SWISS ALPS
21.09.2024
SANBE GRAVEL RACE A UNIQUE RACE THROUGH SPECTACULAR SCENERY
SanBe Gravel Race was born out of a desire to embrace the growing trend of gravel biking and to organize a cycling event in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland that can grow over time into an event of international resonance.
The race takes place on beautiful dirt trails surrounding the quaint village of San Bernardino at 1,600 meters above sea level, giving participants a unique experience.
The 11.5-kilometer course is a true tribute to the beauty of the surrounding alpine landscape, with flat sections, challenging climbs, rapid descents and breathtaking views. Athletes will have the opportunity to cross wooden footbridges at 1,800 meters, the Isola Dam and enchanting pine forests, fully immersing themselves in unspoiled nature. SanBe Gravel Race is not just a competition, but a journey through spectacular scenery that will remain etched in every participant's mind.
Join us to experience this extraordinary adventure in the heart of the Swiss Alps, we look forward to seeing you on September 21 in San Bernardino!
