Swiss Bike Park plans next big milestone

Since fall 2019, the Swiss Bike Park Oberried has been delighting cyclists of all ages. The social project is being rounded off with the construction of a new sustainable and barrier-free operating building, creating optimal conditions for recreational and top-class sport. To finance this, the Swiss Bike Park Foundation is turning directly to the bike community. Part of the investment costs are now to be financed with crowdfunding on "I Believe In You".

Since October 2019, over 26,000 people of all ages and levels have been visiting the Swiss Bike Park Oberried every year. The 30,000 square meter outdoor facility boasts pump tracks, technical trails, a velodrome and much more. Now the park is to be rounded off with a Minergie-A operations building. In addition to showers, changing rooms, workshops and a lounge and catering area, a test and development center as well as seminar and course rooms will be built here.

The new operations building will turn the Swiss Bike Park Oberried into an inclusive competence center for the entire spectrum of cycling. Young and old can learn to cycle safely and in a controlled manner on any terrain, top athletes can benefit from the latest technologies, people with disabilities can expect a barrier-free infrastructure in modern and optimally equipped facilities and clubs, school classes and recreational athletes can enjoy workshops and training courses.

Thanks to numerous supporters, partners, funding contributions and construction and inclusion partners, a large part of the funding has already been secured. For the final milestone, the Swiss Bike Park is turning to the bike community and other sponsors via "I Believe In You". The project can now be supported on the Swiss crowdfunding platform, which focuses entirely on promoting sport. Every contribution helps to create an innovative bike center for everyone. Supporters will be rewarded with attractive rewards.

The Swiss Bike Park Oberried is run by the Swiss Bike Park Foundation under the co-management of Sarina Huber and Saskia Bieli. Their vision: to make Switzerland better by bike by addressing issues such as climate, exercise, health and social coexistence and having a positive impact with the park and building.
