Project description:

The municipality of Zarrendorf / Niepars has fulfilled a dream.

A previously unused lawn was quickly converted into an exercise area. The result? A modular pump track made of concrete modules. The Urban Edition made of prefabricated concrete elements is particularly robust and durable. This variant can be integrated particularly elegantly flush and permanently into the subsoil, as here in Zarrendorf, or can be placed in the open space. Also available with a 1.4m track width, for even faster and safer driving. 

target group:

The Skill Center is aimed at a diverse group of users. Mountain bikers of all ages, from 2 to 75 years old, and with different riding skills, from beginners to experts, will find a suitable challenge here. In addition to riding fun, the Skill Center also offers the opportunity to learn good mountain bike technique, which in turn helps to prevent accidents.

Location & Size

The Modular Pumptrack is located on a lawn next to a large play area with a football pitch and skate elements

Special feature:

The Urban Edition of the Modular Pumptrack is particularly robust and durable and suitable for long-term use. The pumptrack can either be placed on the surface or integrated flush into the ground.

Between Maria Alm and Hinterthal: Seven kilometers of touring fun – two new trails – one destination

What do you do when a popular biking area borders sensitive refuges – and at the same time, two places need to be better connected for tourism? The answer: a carefully planned infrastructure that protects nature and facilitates recreation. 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.

Trail maintenance in Armenia: Sharing knowledge and preserving trails

The history of coexistence

How did we get to the point where mountain bikers, hikers, and cows share the same trail? The history of coexistence in the Swiss Alps is older—and more exciting—than many people think. Graubünden is playing a pioneering role with Fairtrail, demonstrating how shared travel works: with respect, dialogue, and a pioneering spirit.
