Ride ignites the single trail turbo

Ride has cracked a historic mark: the number of routes in the tour database has risen to 1000 entries today. This is the reason for a major update to the Singletrail Map web map. This has been significantly revised technically and packed with numerous new features. For example, the data from the ride tour database is now displayed on the map.

The Singletrail Map web map now runs on its own server at map.ride.ch and is no longer integrated into the website as a window. This significantly increases user-friendliness. As before, access to the web map requires a Gold subscription to Ride, and the login is synchronized automatically.

Routes in Trailforks design and integration of the tour database

Ride has also invested in the content of the web map by transferring it to its own server. The route network of the Singletrail Map can now also be displayed in the Trailforks colors. A layer is also integrated that displays the original data from Openstreetmap in the colors of the Singletrail Map. In addition to the route network, all routes from the Ride tour database are now also integrated into the Singletrail Map. They are marked with an icon that allows direct access to the tour directly from the web map.

Facts about the web map

  • Length of route network: 125,356 kilometers
  • of which single trails: 35,193 kilometers
  • Coverage: entire Alpine region Switzerland/Italy (Dolomites to Liguria)
  • Web map: map.ride.ch

Expansion of the tour database

The cartographic overview of the routes in the tour database is now also used in other places: the list of tours now also includes an interactive map that can be used to search for tours. Previously, this was only possible using the tabular search and filtering function. This increase in functionality goes hand in hand with the ongoing expansion of the tour database. In 2021, 129 new entries have already been created with a strong focus on the regions of South Tyrol and Trentino. Unlike other platforms, all ride tours have been researched and professionally prepared by editors. It is now the largest database for singletrail tours and covers the entire Alpine region between the Dolomites and the Aosta Valley.
