Test Route

Parts of the official 2024 SPAR Swiss Epic route will be available for test rides on Sun, 18.08 from 12:00 and Mon, 19.08 until 15:30. These will be marked with official SPAR Swiss Epic route signage. The start and finish of the test route will be in the Race Village in La Punt, but you can enter the Test Route from every Official Race Hotel. You can ride the Test Route prior to Sun 18.08, but note that there will not be any route signage marking the course prior to Sun 18.08 12.00.

Please note that hikers and mountain bikers will make use of the same paths as the Test Route without limitations. Both parties need to be tolerant and considerate in order for this to work. It is important that mountain bikers slow down to walking pace when overtaking and stop at crossroads and narrow paths, in order to allow space for hikers. Riding these trails prior to Stage 1 is outside of race operation hours and is therefore done without medical assistance and route safety. For any emergencies before the official start of the event on Tue, 20.08, you can call 144.
