Leukerbad wants a flow trail and is now looking for sponsors

Similar to the Corviglia in St. Moritz, a flow trail is to be created in Leukerbad. This will ride from the Rinderhütte mountain station to Torrentalp. Half of the costs of 160,000 francs will be covered by sponsors, the other half by crowdfunding. Online donors are therefore now being sought.

He is optimistic that the remaining money will be received, Modeste Jossen, Director of Torrent Railways, told Radio Rottu. Currently, 8460 francs of the targeted 80,000 francs in donations have been collected. The remaining 90 percent must now be collected via the crowdfunding portal Cashare by May 23. Any objections from environmental associations have been clarified: "No protected areas are affected. The slope is largely within the ski sports zone," Kurt Eichenberger from WWF Oberwallis told local radio. They would not be concerned about this project.

The planned realization of the flow trail is astonishing; the opening is scheduled for July 2015. Given that funding has not been secured until the end of May and no shovel has yet been picked up, experience has shown that an opening in the upcoming season is not to be expected. The trail is being planned and built by former elite mountain biker and current spatial planner Claudio Andenmatten.Flowtrail Leukerbad on Cashere:
