Leukerbad: Now the flow trail is being hit

In spring, the Leukerbad mountain railroads launched a crowdfunding project to finance the construction of a flow trail from the Rinderhütte. The money has now been raised, the building permit has been granted and work is already underway on site. The trail is set to open on July 25.

The Leukerbad mountain railroads were able to raise over 90,000 francs from supporters via the Cashare.ch platform. The (still) unusual financing came from the fact that the mountain railroads are in a difficult economic situation, but still wanted to realize the offer for mountain bikers. They have now succeeded in doing so. A side note on this matter: the company Thömus has contributed CHF 10,000 to the financing, making it the most generous supporter together with the municipality of Albinen.

In Valais, they don't make a big deal of it and broke ground the day the building permit arrived. Claudio Caluori's company Velosolution is responsible for the construction, with Philipp Bont as the experienced man in the excavator cab. The route was planned by Claudio Andenmatten, a local mountain biker with many years of experience as an elite racer and his own planning office behind him.

The implementation of the new flow trail is just the beginning. Further routes near the village are planned to be realized over the next five years.
