Ride is getting fatter and fatter: The Trail Map has increased by 15 percent

Map Illustration

The digital Ride Trail Map is at the heart of Ride. The route network is constantly being updated and expanded, with 31,000 kilometers added in 2025. There was a strong focus on the French Alps. Madeira is also a new addition.

The Ride Trail Map transformed from a purely print product into a web application in 2018. The complete digitalization has led to a much broader coverage. From its original focus on Switzerland, the Ride Trail Map has evolved into an Alpine-wide network of trails. The scope has quadrupled in the last seven years. In other words: There are now 240,320 kilometers on the books! This corresponds to an increase of 15 percent compared to the previous year.

Distribution of the route network

Switzerland: 82,900 km (34%)
Italy: 72,900 km (30%)
Germany: 35,300 km (15%)
France: 23,700 km (10%)
Austria: 12,700 km (5%)
Spain & Portugal: 11,800 km (5%)

The development of the Ride Trail Map from 2010 to 2025

The route presentation system has remained the same since the early years (previously known as the Singletrail Map). Based on the difficulty ratings for ski slopes, the routes on the Ride Trail Map are marked in blue (easy), red (medium) and black (difficult). The scheme has been supplemented by the color purple for extremely challenging sections.

The web application of the Ride Trail Map and thus the entire route network is exclusively accessible to Ride subscribers. 

For selected regions, printed maps are also still available: ride-mtb.com/shop
