The idea for a continuous flow trail from Crans-Montana to the heights above Sierre was first set out in 2016 in the mountain bike master plan of Bikeplan. The aim was to create an attractive, direct link between the high plateau and the plain, ideally incorporating the existing trail between the Montana villages and Loc.

After several years of planning, the technical dossier for the Crans-Montana 2025 MTB network was approved by the canton, allowing construction to begin. For the implementation, Bikeplan brought the Massart brothers from Massart Biketrails on board, who lent the project their characteristic style and a lot of passion.

The result is a relatively narrow, fast flow trail that gives the feeling of gliding through a dense forest. It was built exclusively with local materials, an approach that not only makes ecological sense, but also contributes to its harmonious integration into the landscape. The trail is deliberately designed to be progressive. While beginners can ride it in its entirety, experienced bikers will find numerous jumps and playful elements.

A great deal of importance was also attached to careful implementation in terms of renaturation and landscape protection. And the project is not yet complete; the next step will be to further expand the flow trail so that it will ride mostly on trails in Crans-Montana and only a short section on asphalt.

More information is to follow and an official opening of the flow trail is planned for summer 2026.
