So, what are Snow Bikes? Originally they are known as Fat Bikes. They were invented as bikes, which simplify riding on snow or on sand. This is ensured due to the oversized, or you might say “fat” tires, where the name comes full circle.

Located in the heart if the Swiss Alps the village unites traditional and modern spirits and also guarantees snow. All participants and spectators can look forward to a very beautiful panorama of the mountains, which you’ll only see on postcards otherwise.
