Get ready for three days of stunning stage racing in and amongst the giant snowy peaks of the Valais.

An outdoor lover’s paradise, Switzerland has it all - the views, the nature, the food, the people, the adventure. But not many people get to see this incredible country from a Gravel Epic rider’s point of view. Racing here will give you an unspoilt front-row seat to the majestic lakes, beautiful vineyards, spectacular snow-capped mountains and everything else this country has to offer.

With two course options and a superb range of accommodation packages, Gravel Epic Switzerland has something for everyone.

Between stages, the incredible basecamp of Champex-lac will allow you to relax, recover, explore and enjoy the breath-taking views for the entire weekend.

Epic course participants will climb higher than Everest with over 9,040m of climbing over 255 km over 3 days, whilst the demanding Discovery contains 5,600m over 166 km.

The racing takes part on timed sections on each stage, allowing you to make friends, share stories and enjoy the surrounding beauty in between.

Safety checkpoints will ensure that every rider is on track and fuelled up with local nutritious food ready to hit the gravel again. Experienced mechanical & medical teams be on hand in case of an emergency.

Stage 1 Friday September 23rd

Stage 1 heads out of Champex-lac and you’ll soon hit the gravel roads and experience larch forests, stream crossings and high alpine switchbacks. A cheeky climb to the finish of day one will have built the appetite for our second night supper. Be prepared to enjoy the best that Pays du St. Bernard has to offer.

The stage is filled with Alpine descents and climbs that have you gasping in awe and air as you ride deeper into the heart of the Swiss Alps.
