VELOPARK – more than just a pump track

Varied bicycle playgrounds right on your doorstep!

VELO PARK

There are no opportunities to play, roll, train, jump, meet or do sports near you?
Are you looking for more variety and challenges?

Are there any innovative and unique solutions missing that would turn the old sports field or the unused area in the town centre into a very special meeting and exercise area?

It's shocking to see how little children have any connection to cycling these days. Between the parents' taxi and the mobile phone screen, there's hardly any room to explore, learn and improve!

In addition, there is often a lack of suitable infrastructure in urban areas: inviting places for all generations, with challenges and fun for beginners and the professionals of tomorrow.

The VELOPARK is a unique concept that is much more than JUST a pump track, dirt park or trail. Or JUST a traffic-calmed zone or cycle path. Or JUST a traffic garden. These bike playgrounds of the latest generation are more of a combination of everything.

For more variety, more action, more riding fun and more challenges on the bike – even on your doorstep!

The nice thing about it?

We transform every surface, every subsoil, every slope into a adventure playground for all generations. Because here not only the little toddler on the balance bike in the mini loop can do the first balance exercises on the VELOPARK modules Not only can the teenager jump over the jump line on his dirt bike, but he can also jump over the jump line on his city bike. Over the seesaw on his city bike? No problem! And for maximum FLOW and speed, the Modular Pump Track.

And thanks to the modular solutions, the park can be enlarged, reduced or rebuilt. And even moved to another area if there are alternative plans.

We would say, get on your pedals and go to the next level – to your VELOPARK!

Our VELOPARK expert Mike will be happy to answer any questions you may have!

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.
