TEST YOUR METTLE ACROSS EUROPE

Push yourself to the limit with the Cent Cols Challenge. The 10-stage mountain biking routes are not for the faint-hearted, so the addition of new six-stage events (with a rest day halfway through) is a welcome tweak. The CC6 Northern Alps runs from 4 to 10 July 2022, while the CC6 East Pyrenees takes place from 26 September

to 2 October 2022. centcolsch­allenge.com

HIT NEW HEIGHTS IN SWITZERLAN­D

is set to be launched in August, connecting directly to the Runca Trail — one of the longest flow country trails in Europe. Expect plenty of jumps and banked slaloms, all set amid dramatic

Alpine landscapes. flimslaax.com
