SRF's Rundschau takes on mountain bikers

There's no denying it: Mountain bikers are becoming a central element of summer tourism. Now, for the first time, Swiss television's Rundschau is tackling the topic and will be reporting on the "density stress on the mountain" in a longer report tomorrow, Wednesday. The program will be broadcast at 8.55 pm, after which it can be streamed online.

Switzerland is in mountain bike fever because of Nino Schurter. The Grisons native won Olympic gold on the artificial mountain bike course in Rio and enchanted Switzerland with his likeable manner. You might think that mountain bikers are all fast guys. But Schurter trains on single trails, where most "normal" mountain bikers spend their time. And not everyone still thinks that's great.

On August 24, 2016, Swiss television's Rundschau took on the topic for the first time and reported on the "density stress on the mountain" in a longer report. For the report, Rundschau was on the Augstmatthorn in the Bernese Oberland with Ride editor Thomas Giger, among others. The first broadcast will be at 8.55 pm, after which the report can also be viewed online via SRF's video services.
