First bike trail inaugurated on Flumserberg - the Blue Salamander is open daily

Last Saturday, September 3, 2016 was a celebration on Flumserberg. After planning permission was granted for four bike trails in June 2016, the first mountain bike trail has now been put into operation.

On Saturday, September 3, 2016, the time had finally come - the first BikerTrail of the BikerBerg Flumserberg project was officially opened to the public. Around 80 invited guests, including representatives from the canton of St. Gallen, the local communities of Flums and Quarten, landowners and other stakeholders, met at the BikerShop Flumserberg in Tannenheim on Saturday morning. After visiting the national test center of intercycle, which is run by Philipp Syfrig, the guests rode the 12-seater Prodalp-Express gondola lift from Tannenheim to Prodalp.

The blue ribbon of the BlueSalmander

After the blessing of the BlueSalmander bike trail by Father Ephrem Bucher, the blue ribbon was cut by local mountain bike pro René Wildhaber, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bergbahnen Flumserberg AG Guido Mätzler and BikerBerg Flumserberg project manager Katja Rupf. The joy was great and the trail was ready for the two-wheelers on studded tires.

René Wildhaber led the maiden voyage. Many of the invited guests took the opportunity to ride one or more laps of the BlueSalamander on the test bikes provided.
