Masterplan mountain bike development Mühlviertel

This sport as a form of exercise brings with it both opportunities and risks, which should be identified as best as possible and used positively, for example in workshops.

Project description:

The tourism association “Mühlviertler Alm Freistadt” looks after 32 communities – including Alberndorf and Gallneukirchen. In cooperation with the ALLEGRA Team in Austria A new action plan for cycling in the future was developed.

In spring 2021, we were able to hold several workshops with important stakeholders to subsequently develop a master plan for the Mühlviertel. Together with mountain bikers, hunters, foresters, riders and companies from the 32 TVB communities, we analyzed the potential of BikeSPort in the Mühlviertler Alm Freistadt tourism association area. This sport as a form of exercise has both opportunities and risks that need to be recognized as best as possible within the framework of the workshops and beyond and used positively. Our Project Manager Dominik was also out and about in the field to get an overview of the existing network of paths and to identify potential.

In order to develop a coherent mountain bike offer that is in keeping with the spirit of the times and adapted to the region, the results of the potential analysis and a derived catalogue of measures were recently presented to all TVB communities and the associated local MTB experts at three evening events.

“We have set ourselves the long-term goal of creating an attractive mountain bike offer for guests and locals, in the area of built routes and comprehensive circular tours, in coordination with landowners, hunting, forestry, equestrian associations and agriculture!”, says Stefan Wunderle, Managing Director of the Mühlviertler Alm Freistadt Tourism Association.

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.

“It’s logical” – Fairtrail Graubünden launches new campaign

Fairtrail is launching a new campaign – with mountain bike star Nino Schurter as ambassador. Together with ALLEGRA as project manager, the project sends a strong message for more consideration on Graubünden's trails.

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.
