Unfortunately it misses all the best parts of MTBing in Switzerland :cry:

Ooooh, I like the look of that!

Finishes an hour from my house too.

Struggling to think of why I shouldn't enter.

I'm sure it'd still be fun. And it does run on more spectacular ground in the second half - so that's good.

Yeah, we're almost neighbours!

Give me a shout if you're ever heading this way for an overnighter and I'll join you if I can.

Also, if you ever fancy showing off some of your local(ish) trails then let me know as I'd be up for a weekend of bikepacking fun in Switzerland.

That looks like it could be a really nice ride. The overall lack of gear being carried in the photos fills me with confidence in the climate too.
