Überwintern Fatbike Festival 2026

Presented by Zero Gravity and hosted by Ranch Camp, The Backyard and Mountain Bike Vermont, we're proud to bring you Vermont's best antidote to the winter blues—Überwintern #14!

Join us Saturday, Jan 10th, 2026 for a day of fatbiking, feasting, and hearty brews around warm fires.

What is Uberwintern you ask? In short, it's a day of fatbike revelry on powder-packed single track for those souls brave enough to keep charging on two wheel through the depths of winter!

Now in its 14th year, Uberwintern will be staged out of Ranch Camp and situated on the Cady Hill trailhead. A new remote aid station, a.k.a party central, is in the works for attendees to enjoy some light fare and brews. Registration, ride departure and lunch will all take place at Ranch Camp, Uberwintern's HQ.

Tickets are limited to 250 total and the event will sell out. Your ticket price includes the ride, aid station (snacks and beverages), lunch with both carnivorous and veggie options, and a limited edition print. So pump up those tires, break out the extra layers, and get ready to party MTBVT style... it's tradition!

RIDE ROUTE: We'll all be following a groomed, mapped and signed course out to the aid station and back to town. The course will be optimized based on weather and groomed conditions. Ride with everyone, choose your own pace, form your own group, and stay at the aid station as long as you want! Just follow the maps/signs and we'll take care of the rest.
