This was stage 1/5 of the Swiss Epic mountain bike race in the stunning canton of Graubünden. The stage featured some of the most scenic single tracks I have ever seen. The highlight was the lengthy Corviglia flow trail, where we rode countless outstanding berms in a picturesque postcard. It took us 5:36:54 to complete the 62km and 2350m of climbing. Saving energy for the next four days was a priority, but we couldn’t help it sometimes when the trails were so inviting.

The highlight for me was the lengthy Corviglia flow trail starting at 1:14:09. Which section was your favorite?
Great course. Thanks again Ben👍
"No need to kill the quads"……*Spoiler Alert*….many quads were killed in the making of this video.
Fantastic effort through a tough stage day.
Just amazing content! Thanks so much for putting in the effort of recording and uploading it. What category were you in? Who would you say the event is tailored for from a fitness/technical standpoint?
What a dream course! Good job! 💪
What setting on the GoPro keeps camera in direction and not follow all the bar movement?
Great video as usual. Thanks Ben. I think, I'd be tired from this very first day for a few next days)))
48:12 interesting music!
The word epic gets tossed around a lot in endurance sports. This course definitely deserves it!
Thank you for filming full length videos. Always enjoy watching! Question. What travel bike did you choose to ride for this race?
I have spent far too much time watching your videos now… But I love them so :') I'm waiting for the snow and ice to go away here so I can get out there myself.
Yaaaaaaa Hooooooooo! That downhill!
Hi Ben.
Swiss Epic, one of the best races in the world if you like trails and dreamlike landscapes. And more technical than in previous years… Within the reach of few bikers. Congratulations Ben and Peter!
Great video montage. Thanks for sharing.
Is that hiker taking a leak at 1:51:08?
Great pictures, great Job! ✌️
So jealous about the trails and views
Great vid. I'm guessing the camera was handlebar mounted? I'm doing the 2022 Swiss Epic and would love to just do it from a chest mount but I Know the rules forbid it. Did you see anyone doing body mounted cameras?
Having all the data on the screen is great. GoPros don’t give much of a sense of the angles you’re riding on, so to see the elevation makes it that much more real.
Excellent video, thank you!
I'm 78 and watched it all. Enjoyed every bump. Thank you for taking us with you.
WOW!!!! That Was Very Cool. Thank You. Amazing!
Great view start from 1.14.00
1:14:00 nice track 🙂
What is your tire pressure for such terrain?
Nice riding buddy!
que hermosos lugares y gran carrera te felicito tu compañero igual de esforzado que tú saludos desde Chile eres un guerrero….
What device or tracker gets the track on the screen
Very nice race and top looking landscapes. Question, is the heart rate reading correct? I mean, for example @57.00 going up an 18% incline…. and just 155 bpm? Looks too low to me but I may be wrong . . .
我爱你们
Nice .!😀 Fun distraction while on treadmill.
this video says St. Moritz Switzerland! nice job great video!!! thumb up for giving location
Magnificent
I like how people are not super aggressive,, rather enjoying the race all together. And amazing scenery
i watched a few races but still cannot understand why someone would like to ride over terrible bumps and risk his life.
Real question on the calibration chart what is BPM?
I guess putting a go pro on the back of a Fiat Abarth cannot compare to this… Or on its sun roof… Amazing Captive Cruising… at the easy convenience of sitting on my couch. Seriously though how in the heck are you not scared cruising 16 KPH that trail. Or battling a 16 percent grade at 8 kph…. what the H man. Forgot about the mileage your going… it was hilarious to hear you say 1 / 10 the way… My hat is off to you.
Thank you for this ride. I am recovering from bad motorbike accident and I am training with stationary bike in home. Watching your guys awesome ride with my iPad. You have very long ride, so I do it in 10-15km sections. Keep on riding and sharing these cool videos. Greetings from Bali, Indonesia.
