The Alpenbrevet Platintour is an extreme Swiss alpine cycling challenge starting in Andermatt and crossing the Susten, Grimsel, Nufenen, Lukmanier and Oberalp passes.
What this race demands
This 267 km ride with 6,800 m of climbing demands prolonged endurance and the ability to keep climbing after many hours in the saddle. Its five named Alpine passes make repeated climbing and descending a defining part of the challenge.
Climbing volume
The 6,800 m of elevation gain over 267 km requires substantial climbing capacity and sustained effort across a long ride.
Endurance
The distance and elevation point to a many-hour effort, demanding steady pacing and the ability to keep producing power as fatigue accumulates.
Repeated passes
The route is described as crossing the Susten, Grimsel, Nufenen, Lukmanier and Oberalp passes. Riders need to manage repeated climbs and descents rather than rely on one sustained effort.
For a ride likely to last well over 2.5 hours, target about 60–90 g of carbohydrate per hour.
