Route
In the heart of Zurich
One of the last world cup races of the season, Meist erschaft von Zurich, is this year running over 248,4 kilometres and is both starting and finishing in the midtown of Zurich. The route was changed the year before last and has reduced the number of favourites. Earlier the race was a bit of a lottery, but after changing the route no free tickets are given away.
Six times the race is going on a 41 kilometres round stretch, which all together brings the riders around in over 3588 meters height in the city’s surrounding mountains.
Overall this is a very nice race, which each year offers beautiful surrounding country and exciting bicycling.
