Not much to moan about the routes of BERGKÖNIG, we maybe could have continued for the next 20 years without any change. However, we have high demands so after three good years we have decided for a gentle development.
So for 2020 we have now 4 different parcours (or even 8 if we count precisely). Just to give a complete selection to everybody based on his bike, his shape and his personally preferred Indulgence/Shape Ratio (ISR).

BERGKÖNIG
115 km | 2800 vm (vertical meters)
Indulgence/Shape = 30/70
Indulgence/Shape = 30/70
Already a legend, for this year even nicer and more royal: we have added to the BERGKÖNIG parcours a very attractive additional loop. The beautiful region of Leysin becomes something like a second home to our title track. 10 km and 400 vertical meters more make this one feasible to true kings of the mountain only.
La Reine
65 km | 2100 vm
Indulgence/Shape = 50/50
Indulgence/Shape = 50/50
Totally new for 2020. The KING gets his spouse. Maybe not as wild ... but you got more time to enjoy the great food stations. 50/50 between indulgence and performance. We visit beautiful Simmental, cross the legendary Jaun pass and cross the incredible Gastlosen. Certainly all on small and traffic free roads. The views are spectacular, some of the ascents pretty steep.
Pedaleur de Charme
18 - 82 km | 250 - 1500 vm
Indulgence/Shape = 90/10
Indulgence/Shape = 90/10
BERGKÖNIG is an event just for the joy. No Stress. It is all about beautiful bikes, great local food, pitoresque small mountain roads and unforgettable alpine views. Free selection of 1 to 4 different loops around Gstaad. And a lot of time to visit and enjoy the total of 7 food stations along the parcours, serving strictly regional and hand made products.
Le Fou!
170 km | 5000 vm
Indulgence/Pain = 0/100
Indulgence/Pain = 0/100
For some of us the biggest joy is not to rest but to conquer the toughest tracks. So you think you have done it all? Since we claim BERGKÖNIG the most challenging vintage cycling event in the world, some of our competitors have equaled, at least on paper. Therefore we upgrade now ... and we think the situation is clarified forever and ever. The name says it all: for crazy riders only!
