At the end of 2012, Zurich City Council adopted the "Cycling Master Plan", confirming its intention to promote cycling in the city of Zurich. The development of a mountain bike concept for riding on infrastructure outside the streets and on specific facilities began in 2015. The concept is now available. The city developed it with the involvement of various association representatives from Swiss-Cycling, Pro Velo Zürich, Züritrails, Trailnet, the Zürcher Wanderwege association, the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn SZU and cantonal offices.

The mountain bike concept is a new planning tool for the municipal authorities in Zurich. It sets out the development of information, cooperation and infrastructure for the coming years in ten fields of action and will be reviewed every five years.The concept describes the current and target status for ten fields of action and shows which measures can be implemented in the coming years according to the spatial and financial possibilities. It takes into account the city's experience to date combined with the requirements of the various interest groups.With three bike trails ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 kilometers in length, a bike park, pump track and practice area, as well as three parks where children can learn to ride off-road in a fun way, Zurich already offers a wide range of facilities, according to the authorities. The website stadt-zuerich.ch/biken is intended to provide more comprehensive information about this offer, for example with event information. Based on a code of conduct, the sport should come into as little conflict as possible with other user groups. Cooperation with stakeholders should also continue to improve.Kids also on the radar, expand Höckler

According to the concept, access to the facilities should be by bike and clearly signposted.
There are still gaps in the bike parks for children in the Zurich-West, City, Seefeld, Witikon and Seebach districts. New facilities should be able to be built there if there is demand from the neighborhood. In terms of facilities for young people and adults, the bike trail at Höckler has priority. The trail currently ends there in the middle of the forest. The new trail should ride all the way to Allmend and connect to the bike park. The Uetliberg cantonal protection ordinance includes a corresponding corridor for this. A single trail is also to be created in the Allmend area as a training facility for beginners.
