Flumserberg opens new trails and invites you to the photo challenge

Neue Bikertrails am Bikerberg Flumserberg

On Saturday, July 1, 2017, the opening of the new biker trails from Prodkamm will take place on the "BikerBerg Flumserberg". After the opening ceremony on Prodalp, the 8-seater chairlift will transport mountain bikers to the Prodkamm for the first time, from where the new trails start. This will extend the "BikerBerg Flumserberg" trail network to a total of 13 kilometers.

With the opening of the new flow trails from Prodkamm, the photo area is also expanding for all participants in the "BikerPhotoChallenge", which is being held in collaboration with Samsung Switzerland and perspactives.ch. Participation is open to everyone. Just switch on your cell phone camera and off you go. Anyone who takes an original photo of the "BikerBerg Flumserberg" and submits this photo or a short film of no more than one minute by 14:00 on the Prodalp has the chance to win cool prizes from Samsung. Registrations will be accepted directly on site at the Tannenheim valley station.

Celebrations on Prodalp

The Prodalp plateau at 1576 m above sea level will become an event center next Saturday. The opening of the new mountain bike trails will be celebrated symbolically at the valley station of the 8-seater chairlift at 10:00 am. From around 10:30 am, guests can use the chairlift, now with a bike transport system, as well as the new trails from Prodkamm. DJ Igore will provide suitable music. In addition, Pat Burgener - snowboard pro and musician - will be playing live with his band at the Prodalp mountain restaurant in the afternoon. The excitement builds at 3:30 pm when René Wildhaber, the local mountain bike pro, announces the winners of the "BikerPhotoChallenge".

Expansion of the BikerBerg Flumserberg offer

With plenty of flow, the new "RedFox" and "RedRock" trails wind their way from Prodkamm back to Prodalp and Tannenboden respectively. The connecting trail "BlueBunny" takes bikers from Tannenboden back to the "BlueSalamander" trail. The lines of the new trails were chosen so that the topography of the terrain could be ideally utilized. The flow trails are narrower than the "BlueSalamander" and have fewer jumps and built elements. In addition to the new trails, there is also something new for the little ones. Free running bikes with helmets and a small circuit are available at the Prodalp mountain restaurant.

Five bikes per chair

The 8-seater chairlift on the Prodkamm can transport up to five bikes per chair. The front wheels of four bikes can be easily and effortlessly retracted into a rail and transported up the mountain. Children's bikes and oversized bikes are hung on a hook at the side by the train staff. This bike transport system is the first of its kind on an 8-seater chairlift in Switzerland.
