I can’t remember the last time I went OTB like that. Typical that it happens on the first ride ever that I have something mounted to the bars!

Thank you. I hope so too!!!

Thanks man. Thankfully the phone was old and the screen wasn’t working properly anyway, So I wasn’t massively gutted about breaking it. The replacement will definitely not be attached to the bars. The phone does still live though. All the way home in the car, it kept telling me how far away from the trail I was. “The route is 45km to the left”!!

It is definitely one of the best.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Some of it sort of reminds me of Top of the World trail in Whistler.

Thank you. I’m so lucky to have so many opportunities for these sort of adventures so close to home.

Thanks dude. There are only a few really technical bits. You would manage it fine.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland thanks. I would try it in any case

Very cool!

It comes thoroughly recommended. This is just one of many great trails there. I hope to get down there again this summer and do some more filming, so watch out for some more trails.

Thanks dude. Snow covered trails definitely keep you in your toes. We might have made it look sketchier than it really was though!

Thank you. Steven's well on the road to recovery. If you do make it to the land of cheese and chocolate, make sure to get in touch. Perhaps we can go for a ride.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Yes absolutely, are there many good places to hire bikes for the week? Not sure any of my bikes would survive this sort of riding haha!

Hiring a decent bike shouldn't be a problem. Many shops will rent bikes out, but it can be pricey. You could also do daily rentals in the mountain resorts rather than for a whole week and try a range of bikes out. Perhaps even an e-bike or 2?! They are made for the sort terrain we have here.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Ah right, thank you for the info! I hadn't thought of E-bikes but that sounds like a great idea!

Thanks dude. I’ve got some plans for a few more epic adventures this season.

Definitely one of the more eventful I’ve had!

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out. In the meantime, it’s back to fishing the phone out my pocket to check the map.

Great video! Hope Steve mends quickly as well. The views and trails look amazing 🤙🏼

Thanks for the support. It is certainly an MTB paradise here in summer. I’ve got loads of big mountain footage to edit at the moment, so watch out for some more bangers in the near future. Perhaps I can inspire to make a biking trip to Switzerland in the future?!!

He’s already done his first road ride after the injury, so he’s definitely on the mend.

Switzerland is long term dream of mine, just wish my money could match it 🤣 will do some more watching of your videos as well just to stoke that dream.

That friend me then Christian? Good old komoot 🤣🤣

The trail is sensational. 13km long and drops about 1,400m in total through all the different alpine zones.

Du würdest es schaffen. Es ist ein toller Trail.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Ich war da schon oben dieses Jahr... hammer Trail!!

He only rode far enough to realise that there was no way he could ride any further, but he's definitely on the mend now.

Here's a link to the route we took, which included the wrong turns we made: www.komoot.com/tour/222866561?ref=wtd

Will do. The phone actually still takes a charge, so I might fit a new screen when I find somewhere to do it on the cheap.

That solution has been considered, but we’ve decided that we’ll take him in the future, he just has to ride behind someone else!

We took the lift up to Crap Sogn Gion from Laax and made our way across to Crap Masegn. From there, we pedalled on up to the Vorab. The Arena Express wasn't running back then in the summer, but I guess it would also be an option, although one with a fair bit more climbing.

Thankfully it was an old phone. After this experience, I’ve stopped mounting my phone on the handlebars though. I’ll be honest, I’m still yet to be convinced that it’s worth spending so much money on a Garmin.

Thank you. I should have it somewhere on komoot, but it might not be public. I’ll see if I can dig it out. I’ll probably have to edit it first though, since when my phone screen broke it continued to record until the phone ran out of battery.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland ok awesome. Do you want to share it over email? I also have a channel with my mtb rides in the alps. Here is one of them : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsmmhdV9mc-zmoE.html

I'll be sure to check out your channel. Here's the link to the komoot ride where you can download the GPS: www.komoot.com/tour/212320730

You can check out the route I planned on my komoot here: www.komoot.com/tour/212320730 Unfortunately, the actual route died with my phone!
