There are many different trail rating systems in Switzerland. Together with Swiss Cycling Guide, the Swiss Bike Park has launched an initiative sponsored by Innotour with the aim of standardizing the difficulty rating of bike trails at a national level. In order to avoid having to decide in favor of one rating system or another, a survey is now underway asking for the opinions of mountain bikers.

The importance of the topic is also demonstrated by the efforts of IMBA-Europe, which has shared the survey via its channels, as similar efforts are underway internally. The Swiss initiators say that standardization should ideally be brought about not only in Switzerland, but throughout Europe. The more people take part in the survey, the clearer it will be for the initiators where the rating path should lead in future - in Switzerland or throughout Europe.
