Strategic development of the mountain bike offer in Surses.

The municipality of Surses has one goal: to further develop its trail offering for mountain bikers of all levels. The priority of the participatory "Masterplan Bike Surses" is the new Parnoztrail - a bike trail for everyone: beginners, families, but also experienced enduro or downhill riders. 

In the flow from Parnoz to Son Martegn: The 1.7-kilometer-long trail with around 200 meters of elevation gain closes a gap in the Surses mountain bike portfolio to date. It is particularly important that beginners and families in particular are offered an easy, flowing trail to get to know mountain biking. This also makes the transition from riding on forest paths to easy trails easier. But experienced mountain bikers are not left out either: the trail is planned so that everyone gets their money's worth!

The Parnoztrail in detail

Our ALLEGRA Team Switzerland has thrown itself into the planning and construction of the trail with great motivation. The passion of our project managers and trail builders is reflected in the sophisticated flow trail - because creating a fun trail for all levels is not that easy. With its 1.7 kilometers and 200 meters of elevation, the Parnoztrail connects Parnoz and Savognin. The trail entrance can be reached as far as Tigignas by gondola and then via the agricultural path, or you can reach the trail from the valley under your own steam via various marked bike routes, as well as country and forest roads. From the end of the trail itself, the route to the valley station of the Savognin cable car is via existing bike routes.

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.
