We have been planning, constructing and maintaining trails since 1998 because we love mountain biking and hiking.
Trails are a testimony to our unique cultural landscape. Ever since humans first settled in the Alpine region, they have been creating countless paths to transport goods from A to B, to bring cattle to pastures and alpine fields, and to get from one valley to the next. We still move along these historical routes today – even if we’re often not aware of it. For the most part, however, use of these trails has changed considerably. The transport routes are now used for recreational activities. The entire network of hiking trails in Switzerland covers about 65,000 km and enables mountain bikers and hikers to explore our countryside.
Current projects and news:
Villars-sur-Ollon: Maxi Avalanche
The mountain bike trail in Villars-sur-Ollon, in the Chablais region, has been around for over 20 years. It’s now being gradually restored and extended with completely new sections such as a jumpline. The stretch combines flowing and technical sections with natural parts on a route for experienced mountain bikers.

Innsbruck: Trail Running Championships 2023
We set up a 180 m long trail in the old town for the Innsbruck Alpine Trailrun Festival and the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships 2023 Innsbruck – Stubai in June 2023.
After the events, the city trail was dismantled. These building materials were reused for other events and purposes. You can find out more about successful events here.
