Mountain Race Küssnacht - Seebodenalp
Since 2005, every second year in August or September, there has been a mountain race with historic motorcycles. This event pays tribute to the motorcycle races of the 1920s and 1930s that took place here. The race is held on the historic route between Küssnacht and Seebodenalp and is a regularity trial. The motorcyclists must complete two runs and try to use the same amount of time for each. After the second run, the time difference between the two runs is calculated. The smallest time difference wins. Around 300 motorcyclists from all over Europe take part.
