A few thoughts on our trail building philosophy

With every new trail we build comes responsibility. But what does that really mean?

Our work as trail builders is much more than just creating new paths. Our work begins with the first idea, but does not end with the last shovel of earth. Because a trail is not just a path somewhere on the mountain - it is our access to nature, to experiences that connect and to moments that remain in our memories. But at the same time, with every step and every trail that we create in nature comes responsibility.

Responsibility for Nature

Every new trail expands the possibilities of experiencing nature – hiking, running or biking. But it also leaves traces and with it a special responsibility. VResponsibility for the paths we build and the nature that enables us to do so. Responsibility not only to create new things, but also to maintain what already exists. And responsibility to consider and respect all those involved in nature: the landscape, the wildlife and the community that uses it.

Trail maintenance means taking responsibility

A trail is a living element. Without care, the first signs of wear and tear or erosion quickly appear, which not only make it difficult to use, but can also harm nature. That is why trail maintenance is a central part of our work. Regular maintenance protects nature, maintains usability and enables all mountain enthusiasts to enjoy their trips safely.

Trails that connect

Our goal is to create paths that bring people and nature into harmony. Paths that promote community, teach respect and offer experiences that connect - without putting a strain on nature. It is a fine balance between progress and preservation, between fun and responsibility.

Together we can maintain this balance. By using trails respectfully, maintaining them and protecting the nature that surrounds them. Let us not forget: Nature gives us so much - we should give it at least as much back. 

Let us stay mindful together and preserve nature!

Five years of work have created a 7.3 km mountain bike connection between Maria Alm and Hinterthal with approximately 300 meters of elevation gain, as well as two new single trails – well-thought-out, close to nature, and future-oriented.
