Project description:

The very familiar TCS Camping Salavaux Plage**** is located in western Switzerland, directly on Lake Murten. The campsite borders the longest sandy beach in Switzerland and is surrounded by numerous trees and untouched nature. There are also countless paths for wonderful bike tours in the surrounding area. AND: A modular pump track! The pump track will expand the range of bicycles available at TCS Camping Salavaux Plage to make the site even more attractive for this target group

target group:

All guests, as well as locals and other tourists in the region, are invited to use the pump track. It is particularly practical that the target group of campers usually have their bikes with them on camping holidays anyway. The modular pump track is a holiday highlight, especially for the little ones, and so they spend many hours riding each day.

Location & Size

The bike-friendly TCS Camping Salavaux Plage**** is located directly on Lake Murten in western Switzerland. Nestled between untouched nature and the longest sandy beach in Switzerland, the campsite is the ideal starting point for numerous bike tours. While the campsite is very large, the 65-metre-long Classic Pumptrack only takes up a small area between tents, trailers and caravans, but is also a central meeting point and magnet for all kids and young people. Targeted playing and gathering around and on the pumptrack ensures safety and quieter pitches on the rest of the campsite. If the space needs to be used for something else, the pumptrack can be dismantled easily, quickly and spontaneously and stored to save space. Larger layouts can also be created by purchasing individual modules.

Special feature:

THE MODULAR PUMP TRACK AS THE KEY TO SUCCESS. The so-called KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) demonstrably increase after the purchase of a pump track. Bookings are often made directly during the holiday for the next year with a longer stay.
By riding on the pump track on all wheels, the kids learn how to be safe on their sports equipment and can take this riding skill with them into traffic and on the surrounding bike tours. The skills provide self-confidence and "my best holiday experience".
