    Trails That Drop Jaws Under Switzerland’s Most Iconic Peak – Singletrack Switzerland Zermatt



    In the first episode of Singletrack Switzerland, a new Teton Gravity Research mountain bike project produced in partnership with Swiss International Airlines, Switzerland Tourism, and BMC Bikes, two American mountain bikers – BMC Pro Rider Brice Shirbach, and pro skier Carston Oliver – venture to Zermatt, Switzerland, where they experience alpine singletrack on a level and in a landscape ummatched in North America. With gorgeous singletrack winding down thousands of vertical feet of Swiss Alps mountainsides from gondolas, trams, and trains that climb near every peak in the valley, the pair join German BMC Pro Rider Kerstin Kögler to experience all Zermatt has to offer, including Gornergrat train-assisted descents and the giant Zmutt Glacier.

      Beautiful Europe! This video teaches me to value it even more – also and especially from the mountainbiking pov!

      I went to the exact place this summer but I took the harder trail and trekked down the mountain back to Zermatt, it was tiring but the views were awesome!! I want to go back again

      There I was driving south through Germany enjoying the countryside (and the Autobahn in a BMW!). Once we got near Bodensee (Lake Constance), the voices on the radio stations started a-changin'. The Sweizerdeutsch started coming on STRONG! It was just awesome! I asked my non German-speaking* kids if they could hear the difference between the German they had been hearing during the trip and the Swiss German now being spoken. Nope. (No surprise really.) But to me it was like a smack upside the head! I'm always so taken aback by the Swiss German that I had to laugh. "Wait, this is ACTUALLY their language? No joke? They aren't putting on a 'show' for us? DAMN!" And please, don't take this wrong. I mean nothing negative by this. It's so amazing how language has evolved between people who just live 50 kilometers away. Plus, I spent time in Schwaben, so I've been fully immersed in German dialect. (And my HS sweetheart's mom spoke five languages: Romansch, German, French, Italian and English. Swiss German would make SIX!)

      Love ya, you crazy Schweizer und Schweizerinen!!!

      PS I didn't do ANY mountain biking, and I was IN Graubünden, dammit!!!
      * As opposed to my "Non-German speaking kids." Completely different meaning. I do have non-German kids, just don't have any non-verbal children. Just had to clarify. Danke.
