The Bikes

BERGKÖNIG is for steel-framed bikes only. No brifters, no disc brakes, no nonsense.

Every bicycle is welcome at BERGKÖNIG Gstaad, as long as it has been made before 1990 (or is a replica using the relevant technology). And don't forget: every rider complements his or her bicycle with matching clothing!

Big names

At BERGKÖNIG you are in the same peloton as many Ex-Pros and even some superstars. The LEGENDS for 2021 are not confirmed yet. But soon more here or on Facebook or Instagram

Hotel Partners

Most participants see BERGKÖNIG as a short brake in one of the most marvelous alpine destinations of the world. To make Gstaad even more attractive to mountainkings, our hotel partners make very special offers!

Style Trophies

At BERGKÖNIG being strong and persistent is not enough. You better look the part too! Swiss "style pope" Jeroen van Rooijen is a bike nut and gives away trophies for the most stylish and authentic participants.

New: Style riders who participate to the Pedaleur the Charme parcours may choose between a start number or a brooch during the online registration procedure.
