Please pay attention to that

For a safe biking experience there are ten special mountain bike rules while our bike trail markers guarantee the perfect view - for your own safety and the sake of our environment.

1. Mountainbike Rule I

I control my speed and I anticipate trail users and obstacles (e.g. stones, branches, cattle, gates, tractors and other vehicles/machines) around corners and blind spots!

Mountainbike Rule II

I respect all trails, roads and paths and do not leave marked MBT trails. I bike in an environmentally sound andresponsible way.

Mountainbike Rule III

I show consideration for hikers and walkers and slow down to a walking pace for overtaking!

Mountainbike Rule IV

I protect my head with a helmet and check my equipmentbefore starting a tour!

Mountainbike Rule V

I take the route’s level of difficulty into consideration and judge my experience and ability as a biker accurately!

Mountainbike Rule VI

I respect barriers for wood-cutting works and accept that forestry trails are primarily for the use of the owners of the forest!

Mountainbike Rule VII

II do not leave rubbish!

Mountainbike Rule VIII

I close pasture gates!

Mountainbike Rule IX

I watch out for obstacles especially on narrow single trails as they are not checked regularly. I control my speed and use the trails at my own risk.

Mountainbike Rule X

I pay attention to alpine hazards.
