Project description:

The VELOPARK Skills area acts as the perfect introduction to the trail and offers an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with the various obstacles. On a track of around 50 meters, riders can improve their skills and prepare themselves optimally for the challenges of the trail.

The VELOPARK Trail, on the other hand, invites riders of all ages and levels to familiarize themselves with the techniques of mountain biking in a fun way. Although the course is also suitable for beginners, it is recommended to use the practice area first to prepare yourself as best as possible. With different variants and levels of difficulty on the trail, every rider can find their own line and improve step by step.

target group:

The VELOPARK in Orsa Grönklitt is aimed at all those who love nature and adventure. Whether you are small or large, ambitious or a beginner - what counts is taking part. And so you can slowly work your way from module to module in the upstream skills area with no previous knowledge and then later apply what you have learned on the VELOPARK trail at a faster pace and one after the other.

Location & Size

The 400-meter-long trail leads through a picturesque forest and exudes a mystical atmosphere. There are various modules along the way, including balance elements, jumps and curves that challenge riders and guarantee a varied ride. The VELOPARK Skill Center is located in front of it. Overall, the area is perfectly laid out for a few hours of time out on the bike for the whole family.

Special feature:

Not long ago, the Orsa region benefited from the famous predator park and attracted tourists. Since its closure, however, the Orsa cable cars have found a clever solution and have had a double dose of VELOPARK for the warm summer months: with a training area in the valley and a long trail for everyone. The days of watching bears and wolves are over. Today, people drop, jump and experience the flow - but above all, they pedal themselves! This attracts locals and visitors alike.

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.

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.
