PROJECT DESCRIPTION

After only two weeks of construction, the ALLEGRA Asia team, under the project management of Marc Wyckmans With Velopark Ryugasaki, we have succeeded in creating a new, innovative exercise park in Japan. The VELOPARK modules, combined with the modular pump track, are located in a public area that is very popular with families and children, especially on weekends, for picnics and excursions outside of Tokyo.

The Velopark was specifically designed as publicly accessible and free facility planned and implemented – with Community support, which actively co-financed the project. A children's playground is also located nearby, making the park particularly attractive for young families. Also right next door is the Forest Adventure high ropes course and the Trail Adventure Center, with various mountain biking trails for all skill levels.

After a six-month planning phase, a varied exercise area was created within 14 days, which can be used regardless of the weather and offers a broad target group It appeals to everyone – from toddlers to families to athletically active teenagers. What's particularly exciting to watch is that the kids "conquer" the obstacles not only by bike, but also by running. Anything that's fun is allowed!

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.

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.
