The ALLEGRA team has been involved in a wide range of areas in this project. We are proud to be Silver Sponsoring to have been part of the ÖKK Bike Revolution event.

In addition, our A-Team family member Joel the graphics for the impressive fortress were designed.

And also a Modular Pump Track couldn't be missing in the Event Village for the little visitors. After all, this is where the race participants of tomorrow are formed.
In advance we also had the chance to win free tickets for the Gusto Rides to raffle: a unique experience where the passion for sport meets the rich culinary heritage of the region.

We were also allowed to get out the tools and take over the trail construction for the highlight section T1 for the race.

You can get some impressions of the planning, the construction and also the day of the race in our recap.

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

Whether it's a hiking trail, bike trail, or shared trail: A functioning route requires more than construction – it requires maintenance. In Armenia, we trained local crews to enable long-lasting, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly infrastructure. As ALLEGRA, we have been offering such courses for years: in Switzerland, Scandinavia, and around the world. Because only those who understand how a trail works can maintain it.
