From gold rush to single trail dream

In Canada's northernmost region, the Yukon, gold was once mined on a grand scale. Today, there are only trails around the town of Carcross to remind us of this. They serve local young people as the basis for a single trail network that represents a door to the future for them. A captivating story wrapped up in a beautiful movie.

The mountain bike film "Sustainable Dreams" by Orbea is dedicated to the legacy of mining in northern Canada. The region around the town of Carcross is now largely abandoned, with little left of the gold rush atmosphere of years gone by. However, the existing trails are being maintained and specifically prepared for mountain bikers as part of the "Single Tracks to Success" project. Over the years, a trail network has been created that makes the landscape marked by mining usable in a sustainable way. It also gives young people from the area a perspective and teaches them how to treat the unique natural environment with care. The film tells an exciting story in a captivating way.
