Mountain Bike Drama on the Mountain: The Kampen King Calls for Uphill Specialists
On July 16, 2026, one of the most famous mountain bike races in the Chiemgau will take place at the Kampenwand massif. The course runs from Hintergschwendt over the Gori Alm to the Steinling Alm and demands everything from the riders: rhythm, climbing strength, speed endurance, and mental freshness until the last sprint.
A Course That Leaves No Doubts
Here, luck plays no role, only pure mountain biking quality. The race thrives on the steep dynamics of a true uphill classic: fast first meters, controlled pacing, then the long fight against gravity. Those who want to finish at the front need not only legs but also the right timing on the way to the Steinling Alm.
Kampenwand as a Stage for Endurance and Attacks
The Kampenwand is a magnet for mountain bikers, hikers, and mountain sports fans in summer. Around the valley station at Bergbahn 8, the alpine atmosphere is concentrated, while at the top, the view over the Chiemgau almost makes you forget the effort. For the participants, however, there remains only one task: ride cleanly, apply pressure, don't overextend.
Atmosphere Between Alpine Meadows and Floodlight Feeling in Your Head
Even without a stadium, this race feels like a small mountain spectacle. Along the track, fan chants may not meet a grandstand roof, but the close connection between nature, race pressure, and peak fever creates a unique stadium atmosphere outdoors. Every curve, every ramp, and every glance towards the Alm adds to the tension.
Tactics, Speed, and the Decisive Sprint
Those who want to win the Kampen King need a clear racing system. Too hard initial attacks quickly backfire in the mountains, while overly cautious riders lose contact. The balance of clean cadence, smart power distribution, and the final kick in the last section to the Steinling Alm will be crucial.
Conclusion: The Kampen King MTB Race to the Kampenwand promises an intense evening for fans of mountain biking. Anyone wanting to experience the mixture of mountain duel, natural scenery, and racing drama live should mark this date firmly in their calendar.
