The 38-year-old Roschi is regarded as an experienced tourism expert and has merged the Thun Tourism and Lake Thun Tourism organizations into Thun-Lake Thun Tourism in his four years in Thun. He is regarded as a prudent and affable man. The fact that a mountain biker is taking over the chairmanship of the hiking association is not so much a surprise or even a coup, but rather a pragmatic and timely sign that the two user groups are much closer together than is often proclaimed in the media and at regulars' tables. The official bodies of the various sports have already been on friendly terms with each other, which has led, among other things, to a common mission statement in their mutual dealings. The managing director Christian Hadorn, who is still in office, has already cultivated a very open relationship with the mountain bikers. Hadorn is leaving Swiss Hiking Trails after ten years of service to take over the management of a non-profit organization.
