Graubünden's Fairtrail campaign gets another cash injection

Logo Fairtrail Graubünden

The "Fairtrail" awareness campaign is entering the next round in Graubünden and will receive 1.45 million francs for it. The focus is now increasingly shifting from hikers to forests, wildlife and forest management.

The government is granting a total of CHF 1.45 million for the "Fairtrail Graubünden 2024-2027" project as part of the federal government's New Regional Policy (NRP). NRP contributions are shared equally between the federal government and the canton.

With the dynamic development of mountain biking and e-mountain biking, the use of hiking and biking trails has increased significantly in recent years. As part of the "Fairtrail Graubünden 2024-2027" project, comprehensive measures are being implemented to promote the coexistence of hiking and biking in Graubünden. Particular attention will be paid to the areas of forest and game as well as alpine farming, as this is where the greatest need for action is identified. The Graubünden Civil Engineering Office is responsible for implementing the project as the specialist department for non-motorized traffic.Source: Press release

Fairtrail Graubünden: Nino Schurter – Episode 5

When the paths of two Olympic champions cross

The two top athletes from Graubünden, Nino Schurter and Nevin Galmarini, have a lot in common. Both have an Olympic victory in their palmarès, and they also share a passion for mountain biking. In their home region of Graubünden, they find ideal conditions for this, thanks to the liberal interpretation of the law on trail use by politicians. With the Fairtrail campaign and the support of the prominent athletes, the canton is drawing attention to this exceptional circumstance and raising awareness of coexistence in practice - the shared use of trails.
