As in many places in Switzerland, mountain biking is becoming increasingly popular in the Schwyz region. In local recreation areas such as the Ingebohlerwald forest near Brunnen, many forest users are out and about. Almost ten years ago, there was a request for a legal bike trail, which would reduce the potential for conflict thanks to its channeling effect. From Morschach to Brunnen, thanks to a clear route and an attractive route design, this should on the one hand bring about an easing of conflict, but also prevent wild new routes from being created through the forest.

The new downhill run starts in Morschach below the forest park of the former Hotel Axenstein and is made up of existing and new sections. Around 230 meters below, the descent ends above the fountain and below the official fireplace.

The Rideside club is helping to build and maintain the bike trail itself, albeit with professional assistance. The company Trailworks is advising the club during construction to ensure that the trail is built as sustainably as possible and that the jump layout is right

Construction work started at the beginning of April, albeit in small groups in order to comply with the coronavirus measures imposed by the federal government. Despite these circumstances, three quarters of the downhill section has already been routed. This will be followed by the construction of jumps and berms, the surfacing and, finally, the signaling. The bike trail in Ingebohlerwald is therefore set to open in fall 2020 as announced.

In order to realize the trail in the Ingebohlerwald, the Rideside association launched a crowdfunding campaign. The funding threshold of CHF 70,000 was reached before the end of the fundraising project. However, something is still missing to reach the overall target of 120,000 francs. The money will be used to build the trail, with any unused funds going towards sustainable maintenance and operating costs.
