All Downhill From Here
Another in my helpful series of "why didn’t he tell us about that before?" posts…
Well, in this case, it’s because I’ve only just found out about it, but it seems like it might be worth making a trip next summer.
Switzerland has basically two types of cyclists, those that like going uphill, and those that don’t.
Near Davos is a run that caters exclusively for that second category, which of course includes me.
A 20 km (12.5 miles) run, all downhill? can it be possible? Well at St Antönien it apparently is. There’s a small mountain inn at the top and then two hours of not having to pedal. Fortunate because the scooters don’t have pedals.
Sadly, the run closes on October 31st – that’s the way things work in Switzerland, a date gets fixed and everyone sticks to it – even if we are having the sunniest October since, well, last year.
It seems easy enough to get to, just turn left at Küblis on the road from Landquart to Davos.
Reservations are essential though, so make sure you contact them first.
A half-day pass costs CHF 16 including helmet. But take your own Band Aids…
