By 2019, there will be even more work on Chur's local mountain. The city of Chur pays an annual investment contribution of CHF 570,000 per year. This is supplemented by an operating contribution of CHF 320,000. If the payments are not extended, the Alpenbikepark is threatened with the loss of the feeder lift. The mountain railroads will have to invest around 15 million francs in infrastructure over the next few years - several facilities are outdated and need to be replaced or renovated. Next year, the people of Chur will vote on the annual payments. Next year, the people of Chur will therefore be asked to vote on whether the annual payment of around one million francs should continue. If the voters say no, the Brambrüeschbahn will come to an end, says city councillor Tom Leibundgut. The operation would not be closed immediately, as there are still reserves. "But when these funds are used up, it's over. Then we will quietly go bankrupt. You have to be aware of that." Leibundgut is a city councillor and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the mountain railroads and is committed to continued payments. "Things will continue on Chur's local mountain. The Board of Directors has only done its homework and presented the facts together with a pioneering future project - as the basis for the extension of the municipal investment contribution. MTB will play an even greater role on Brambrüesch in the future," explains Michael Christ from the Alpenbikepark Association and Chur Tourism.

The Alpenbikepark in Chur has been a success story in recent years. Thanks to its low location, the park can benefit from what is probably the longest season in Switzerland; last year the park was open and maintained until December. The Alpenbikepark was open until last weekend - further information on opening times can be found on the park's homepage.
