Here is a complete list summarizing the details of all active Zwift routes.
How to use this list:
- Click a route name to read more details, get maps, etc
- Click a column title to sort
- Enter text in the search field to filter
The “Difficulty” rating is taken from VeloViewer‘s VVOM (VeloViewer Objective Measure) algorithm which rates difficulty based on route length, gradients, and elevation.
- This rating is for one “lap” of the route. Your actual ride difficulty will obviously be based on route choice plus lap count, ride intensity, and other factors.
- Of course, elevation (how far above sea level a virtual road is) doesn’t matter to Zwifters. That said, the ratings seem quite accurate even with this included. I’ve been in touch with Ben over at VeloViewer, and he plans to update the VVOM algorithm next week for virtual rides, removing elevation. If that happens, I will update the numbers below and add a comment to the post.

Changelog:
- Mar 5, 2020: added a pile of event-only reverse routes, some of which have been around a while. Hilly Route Reverse, Volcano Flat Reverse, Road To Ruins Reverse, Flat Route Reverse, Big Loop Reverse, Three Sisters Reverse, Greater London Loop Reverse, London Loop Reverse, London 8 Reverse, and Greatest London Loop Reverse.
- Feb 21, 2020: Added Seaside Sprint event-only Watopia route to list
- Feb 7, 2020: Richmond refresh! Updated Richmond route names, and added the new event-only routes (Cobbled Climbs Reverse, Libby Hill After Party, Richmond Rollercoaster, and Richmond UCI Reverse).
- Dec 17, 2019: added the two new Crit City routes
- Dec 9, 2019: added Badge XP column, and Watopia “The Magnificent 8” route
- Oct 2, 2019: updated Difficulty values for all routes, after VeloViewer updated their VVOM algorithm for virtual rides to remove elevation as a factor
- Sept 25, 2019: added 17 routes from the ZwiftHacks routes list. Most of these routes are event and/or run-only, making them hard to track down.
I finished Lutscher and I got 240 points. Unfortunately I was not able to get a snapshot in time
Mountain Route 580 XP
Thanks!
Lutscher was 270XP for me!
840xp for big loop
Thanks!
Just did Dust in the Wind, but didn’t get awarded anything
I just did it. You have to keep riding for a while – the finish is a few kms further than expected – the end of the sprint segment. I was just about to give up wondering what happened and then I crossed the sprint finish and the route badge was awarded.
Tour of Tewit Well = 210 XP, The 6 Train = 130 XP
Thanks!
PRL Full = 3460 XP
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!
Same thing happened to me
Volcano Flat 240xp
Thanks!
Quatch Quest = 920 XP
Thanks!
Watopia Pretzel 1440XP
Thanks!
Is there a way to get a printable “master List” so I do not have to open up Zwift every time I want to see routes I want to ride?
If you choose a route, say, “Volcano Circuit”, and upon getting the completion banner, if you U-Turn, and ride the route in reverse, would you get “credit” for doing the reverse route, “Volcano Circuit CCW”, on the same ride? Or do you have to quit and restart, and select the route?
You have to quit and restart. You only get credit for the actual route you’ve selected.
I got credit for both directions in the one ride for this yesterday (Volcano Circuit CW & CCW). Happy to post up my companion screen shot if it helps.
Seems to be a bug with Volcano laps, I chose Volcano CW and got the bonus XP after my first lap, after a few more hit the u-turn button and immediately got the Volcano CCW bonus.
Mighty Metropolitan 400XP
Thanks!
I think I found a glitch to receive badge withouth riding it:
1. I signed for an event where “Watopia Pretzel” was a route
2. Started Zwift but as a warmup I chosen Watopia Circut just to complete and collect it badge ( I collected)
3. Then I clicked JOIN event and… once joining I received Pretzel route completion badge
4. Off course I completed this route but will check next time if I don’t have to do this.
Tour of Fire and Ice = 500XP
Thanks!
The route completion badge XP approximates to 20x distance of the route in km.
Lady Liberty: 240xp
Thanks!
Did NY_Mighty Metropolitan yesterday, calculated 400XP
Rising Empire (NY cycling) is 410XP. 5k Loop (Watopia running) is 200XP.
Thanks!
Lady Liberty 240 XP
Just did The Highline, but didn’t earn the badge. Went the route distance of 10.5km and added another 5 km.
Flat Irons NYC = 590XP
The London Pretzel: 1100 XP
There’s no badge for the Magnificent 8 route. This was the route for the last week of the WTRL Ultimate Racing league, which I participated in and received no route badge upon completion. I as well as a couple of other people in the event continued to pedal along the route after the event through the KOM banner, which suggests there is no route badge for the Magnificent 8.
Correct. Event only routes do not give out badges.
Chili Pepper: 320XP
When did the achievement/ points appear? Riding back down alpe right now and no points
Sand and Sequoias is 180m climbing
I rode Road to Sky last night and got the points when I went through the banner.
The amount of times I pick a route, free ride or workout, and I didn’t get the award. Very hot or miss.
Does the difficulty score factor in road surface?
It does not.
Park to Peak (NYC Run route) is 180XP. I also ran Couch to Sky K but it ended early (~4.1mi) so I didn’t catch the XP. 😢
The Mera Pretzel -> 2140XP
Thanks!
Jon’s Route (Watopia Running) is 500XP
Thanks!
Any chance of adding the lead-in distances to this table?
Any chance we could get zwift insider verified segments for the NYC run routes? I’m willing to run them, and send them to you if need be.
Thanks for being a source for us all!
Any chance you could make this available as an Excel or CSV download?
You can just copy and paste it into Excel. Easy peasy!
Yes and no. You can certainly copy’n’paste it into a spreadsheet (Google Sheets in my case), but the distance and height columns are unparseable text as far as the spreadsheet is concerned. Or maybe Excel can tease “89.3 km (55.5 miles)” apart — Google Sheets certainly can’t. That complicates sorting by distance.
Could you please either split the distance and height columns into metric/imperial or make a download that has those columns broken out? Or link to a Google sheet that people could copy and modify as they like.
Matt- In excel, highlight column with data you wish to separate. ctrl+F for ‘find and replace’ Enter in find (* leaving replace empty. Click replace all. And you are left with just the kilometers. If you want miles, put the * on the other side of the parenthesis. Hope this helps! Pretty sure it works in sheets too.
Greatest London Flat is not 147m of climbing. I did it last night and it was 120m when badge popped
Tempus Fugit 380xp
The official ‘Lutscher’ and ‘The Highline’ routes both start and end at the KOM banner (based on what it takes to get the route completion badges). Why does the table include the lead-in for Lutscher, but not for The Highline?
Yes, the list includes the lead-in for Lutscher (also Lutscher CCW) but not for the other routes with a long lead-in (e.g. “Highline”, “Surrey Hills” and “Muir and the Mountain”). That does not make much sense but should be easy to fix.
Great List. Thank you for compiling it!
Jungle Circuit is 13.4km not 7.9km as listed here.
I don’t think you get any more XP’s for completing a route more than once but could be wrong.
You are correct. Only one badge (with XP bonus) per route! After that, you’re just earning fitness and memories.
The Shuman Trail Loop (NYC Run) is 100XP.
The Jungle Circuit is longer now. I think 8.3 miles.
your sort method on the table does not sort correct
I would like to select a ride repeatedly (e.g. Innsbruck). It appears it is not always accessible, Is there a way I can select it on dates to my convenience?
Sure, do this: https://zwiftinsider.com/world-tag/
As others have mentioned, both this list and your “Coach to Route Hero” spreadsheet would be even more useful if there was a column with lead-in distance, lead-in elevation, as well as a checkbox column
Any chance of a .xls or .csv version of this table? I would like to track my achievements. Even better if it had all the badges.
Thanks for all the work you do, Eric!
Just copy and paste it into Excel
