Watopia is a course in Zwift. It is the oldest available course in Zwift, and the one most often in active use on the Zwift course schedule. While the geography of Watopia is loosely based on a pair of islands in the Pacific Ocean, many features of the location are largely fictionalized, making it the only Zwift course not modelled after a real-world location. The location includes 53 individual and event only routes and over 160km of road.
Geography[]
Watopia consists of two main islands, loosely based on the islands of Te Anu and Naunonga in the Solomon Islands. The smaller of the two islands (the Te Anu analog) contains the flat and hilly routes, and the larger contains the mountain route. A pair of bridges connects the islands.
The routes on the small island follow a beachside boardwalk, passing Watopia Pier and several tall buildings. It then follows Ocean Boulevard, a long underwater tunnel that splits into either the Mountain Route or the Flat Route. The Hilly Route on the small island winds through grassy, tree-spotted rolling hills.To the west of the small island lies a newly formed highly active volcano accessible by a thin strip of land on one side, and a tunnel on the other.
The routes on the larger mountainous island pass through a German village before ascending into the snowy, alpine-style mountains. The highest point of the Mountain Route is reached by a steep gravel climb to a roundabout that encircles a tall radio tower at 516m of elevation, then goes back down the mountain. The Southeast approach to the mountain is long and winding, whereas the Northwest approach is a set of classic switchbacks.
Recent releases include Fuego Flats (a flat desert route), Titan's Grove (a rolling hills view through ancient redwoods), Mayan Ruins (dirt track route through the jungle amongst the ruins & temples) and Alpe Du Zwift (a virtual e-creation of Alp d'Huez in France). The Alpe has 21 hairpin turns and 1060m of elevation.
