The Zugerberg Trail is built. The ground-breaking ceremony in the snow on February 27 marked the start of construction after almost 5 years of planning. Now the Zugerberg Trail has become a reality. The Zugerberg Trail is the centerpiece of the Zugerberg development concept. It will be the first year-round bike infrastructure facility for the more than 7'400 bikers in the canton of Zug.

The Höhrone between Ägeri and Wädenswil is a popular mountain biking area. The path on the ridge in particular is a frequently used single trail, but the canton of Zug now wants to take it away from mountain bikers. It is planning an alternative route - on a small road and primarily on asphalt.

The iconic enduro happening "Rocky Mountain 3x1 - Wildspitztrilogie" is being expanded to include the winter edition "3x1 Snow". The aim is to transfer the groove of the original to the snow. There will also be a fondue dinner followed by an overnight stay on the Wildspitz.

The IG Mountainbike Zug is still looking for funding support for the construction of the Zugerberg Trail. The crowdfunding campaign on webelieveinyou aims to raise 35'000 francs. Alongside Magglingen and the Gurten, the Zugerberg Trail would be the only trail in Switzerland that is open all year round.

The goal of IG Mountainbike Zug to create an official mountain bike trail on the Zugerberg, which has been pursued for 3 years, is nearing completion. The invitation to tender for the construction project published in Zug's official gazette last week raises hopes that construction will begin in fall 2015.

There are already stage races and snowdownhills for fatbikes, but no fatbike happening yet. That's why the "pachyderms" will be rolling into Aegeri on January 24 for the first Fatbike Happening. The focus here is on the fun of fat biking and the experience of nature, and it is precisely this original idea that the initiators want to celebrate.

The bike fair in Zug will be held for the second time in April 2015: the event, which has something to offer for all bike enthusiasts, will focus on the numerous test opportunities for mountain bikes, racing bikes and e-bikes. Manufacturers, importers and bike dealers are welcome as exhibitors and can still register for the event.

In future, the police and forestry service will be fining mountain bikers who use illegal trails on the Zugerberg. The measure is to protect the forest and wildlife, as announced by the Canton of Zug's Directorate of Home Affairs.

Bikers are lawless people who frighten walkers and damage forests and meadows. Such a sweeping prejudice was enough for the Zug cantonal parliament to pass a CVP postulate that mountain bikers on the Zugerberg should be fined in future. In the background, however, the authorities are developing far more pragmatic solutions.

On August 24, the time has come: the riders of the "Rocky Mountain 3x1 - Wildspitz Trilogy" will set off on one of the biggest technical and fitness challenges in Switzerland. Only a few starting places are still available.

A complete ban on biking is looming on the Albis mountain range between Zug and Zurich. This is happening as a result of the Sihlwald Wilderness Park, which is to be further developed over the next few years. Resistance to this project has been growing among the population for months, with the newly formed "IG Sihlwald für Alle" ("Sihlwald for All") representing the needs of all user groups to the authorities.

Three ascents of the Wildspitz in just one day. This is the motto of the Wildspitz Trilogy, which takes place for the first time on September 30. The focus is not on the racing character but on the shared experience of conquering the Wildspitz three times in different ways in one day.

On the Zugerberg, mountain bikers face the threat of no longer being allowed to ride many attractive routes due to a new model. Instead of tolerance, the canton of Zug has opted for "unbundling of use". But even in Central Switzerland, the bikers who are now standing up to the authorities have not been taken into account.
