More variety and progression for all bikers

By expanding the existing Schmuggler, Ibahaps, Almrush and Kornock trails and building the new Teahouse Trail, Trailarea Turracher Höhe wanted to give both beginners and professionals the opportunity to expand their skills. With the broader and more varied range of trails, we can meet the needs of all bikers. From gentle beginner routes to challenging trails for professionals - the new options appeal to all levels.

Efficient implementation during ongoing operations

Particular attention was paid to carrying out the construction work during ongoing operations. We focused on carrying out the work in such a way that the operation of the existing trails and the visitor experience were not affected. Thanks to careful planning and coordination, the ALLEGRA Austria team was able to integrate the work smoothly.

Environmental awareness and protection of wetlands

Another key concern was to protect the sensitive wetlands in the area around Turracher Höhe. Our project managers and the construction team have found creative and efficient ways to bypass or bridge these areas without endangering their natural integrity. This environmentally conscious approach is a guideline at ALLEGRA and reflects our commitment to sustainable construction practices. In addition to the ecological aspect, there is always an aesthetic concern to preserve the natural beauty.

Flat construction to reduce the need for snowmaking

Additionally, we made sure to build the new trails on flat piste terrain. This decision not only helps minimize the need for additional snowmaking, but also ensures that the trails are optimally rideable in a variety of weather conditions. Our goal was to ensure a seamless and safe experience for all bikers.

Conclusion

Through these measures, we have not only expanded the range of trails in Turrach, but also increased the attractiveness of the region for mountain bikers. We are proud to be part of this project on the Turracher Höhe and look forward to welcoming bikers of all experience levels to the new trails in the trail area.

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.

The Bikepark Moléson is growing

Since September 2024, the Moléson Bike Park has offered two varied flow trails for all skill levels – fluid, playful, and with Alpine panoramas. A natural, red enduro trail for technically skilled riders will follow in 2025.

In the flow through the Bike Park Moleson

The flow trails at Moléson Bike Park offer playful riding fun for every level – Modzon with plenty of jumps, Poya a bit more technical and twisty. Perfect for repeated descents and varied lines.

Coexistence – peaceful coexistence on our paths

How can we achieve peaceful coexistence among all stakeholders and user groups on non-motorized transport routes? We didn't invent coexistence, but we're demonstrating our path here to best ensure the interests of all stakeholders. For truly lived coexistence.
