“Three Step Sisters” Route Details (Watopia)
The third in a series of “Three Sisters” Watopia routes (see Three Sisters and Three Little Sisters), Three Step Sisters takes on three climbs the other two routes don’t touch: the Jarvis KOM Reverse, the base of the Epic KOM Reverse, and The Grade.
This was added to the game as an event-only route in early December 2025, presumably for an upcoming event series. Tour de Zwift? We’ll have to wait and see. If Zwift sticks to recent patterns, this route will become free-rideable soon after the series ends.

Route Description
Beginning in downtown Watopia, we’ll ride through the lap arch and head toward the Volcano, turning right onto the roads of the Volcano Circuit CCW. But you’ll only make it halfway around the circuit before making a right, then a quick left, to get onto the Jarvis reverse loop.
This takes us through the Jarvis Sprint Reverse, then quickly up our first climb of the day, the Jarvis KOM Reverse, which finishes at the ride-thru tree. Once you finish the climb, catch your breath as you descend past the Banjo Cafe and through the Jarvis lap banner, then turn left and a quick right to begin making your way around the Volcano Circuit CCW once again.
You’ll head across the land bridge, though, then up the Dirty Sorpressa, turning right at the top and another right to head down the twisty, slight descent to the Marina. Stay straight at the windmills to continue onto the dock and past the Spruce Goose, then you’ll begin the second climb of the day, up the first section of the Epic KOM Reverse.
Once across the bridge, this climb ends as you turn left to take the Epic KOM cutoff road. This takes you across to the Epic KOM forward road, but you’ll turn left to head downhill across the bridge before turning right to for a short climb up toward Titans Grove.
Up through the edge of Titans Grove, you’ll stay right to descend into Saddle Springs and onto the LAX roundabout, taking the first right to get onto Watopia’s Southern Coast road.
You’ll stay on this road for a good stretch, hitting the Woodland and Sasquatch Sprints before turning right to head up the final (and largest) climb of the day: The Grade KOM! Give it all you’ve got… the route ends at the KOM arch at the top.
Note: Zwift will estimate your FTP based on your power and time up this KOM segment, and display this number on the sign just past the KOM arch:
