Grand Raid Christalp: Verbier - Grimentz
Switzerlands most important cycling race
- more than 4000 bikers between Verbier, Hérémence
and Grimentz. The Grand Raid remains an exceptional event in
the world of mountain biking. The fidelity of the participants
attests to the quality of the organization and the now mythical
race course across the Valais Alps. The race goes over high
alpine passes and low mountain valleys and is considered as
one of the most fastidious mountain bike races.
