PRESS RELEASE: JurAlp Enduro TourDriven by passion by volunteers, who had no other goal than to offer riders their best trails in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the Enduro Helveti'Cup was born in 2016. Its goal: to create a Swiss Enduro championship, which back in the time did not exist yet on the Swiss territory. Since 2016 no less than 25 events were held under the Enduro Helveti'Cup banner and the first swiss enduro national champion jersey were
issued. And more than a championship, through its various events, it is a growing community of riders that was created and that still meets for rides, good times and competition year after year.
It is with this in mind that
Bold Cycles founder Vincenz Droux and Bold Cycles decided to join forces in 2019: the spirit of Enduro and the Helveti'Cup fully corresponded to what Bold wished to promote: racing your buddies, sharing good vibes and making new friends and creating a community. Bold has thus committed itself to the Enduro Helveti'Cup as a "naming partner" for a period of 3 years. As a rider Vincenz participated in many events, and was even on the podium several times in the Masters 40+ category.
Today the partnership has come to an end, and the committee of the Enduro Helveti'Cup would like to thanks him a thousand times for his commitment to the sport and our championship and naturally wishes the best to Bold Cycles.
For 2022, we are excited to announce some changes, which were already initiated in 2021. More than ever, we want to focus on the essence of Enduro : a mix of sharing and competition, with a good dose of passion. We want to bring together events that share the same values, the same spirit, within a single tour, regardless of race formats ... or any geographical boundary.
Today the Enduro Helveti'Cup becomes the "JurAlp Enduro Tour", a cross-border enduro challenge, which as its name indicates, will be concentrated on the Jura and Alpine massifs of France and Switzerland!
For 2022, 4 rounds are already scheduled:
-
Enduro des Monts Jura - Lelex/Crozet; France - July 30 + 31
-
Chaumont Super D - St Blaise; Switzerland - August 13
-
Enduro de la Pipe - Septmoncel ; France - August 21
-
Rock the Besso - Zinal ; Switzerland - September 10

hereWith the objective of mixing race formats, letting organizers being creative, and letting other tours focussing on more EWS-like enduro races, the Juralp tour will host various events including "blind racing", long epic races and why not a "Mass Start".
We are convinced the Juralp Enduro Tour will fulfill the wishes of a number of riders.
We are looking forward to welcoming you all on the trails of the "JurAlp Enduro Tour"!
JurAlp Enduro Tour – Same team, same spirit, but different !
Either way it's a great thing to see more Swiss Enduro events happening!
I would love to share my hometrails in the western Emmental. 5 stages are ready and perfectly suited for racing. Unfortunately the 111 (!) wood owners have something against it ;-((
