The bike plans in Gstaad are on the move

For several years, Gstaad has been the title sponsor of an international downhill team - but without having its own downhill courses. This is now set to change: The "Flying Metal Crew" around Ramon Hunziker has been commissioned to plan a corresponding offer.

Gstaad is still keeping the exact plans under wraps, even though a fundamental decision has been made public: the planned mountain bike trails are to be located in the Horneggli cable car area. Gstaad has budgeted 150,000 francs for the planning of the downhill offer, the contract for which has been awarded to the "Flying Metal Crew". The man behind the company is Ramon Hunziker, who has already made a name for himself with several constructions, but is best known for his participation in the Red Bull Rampage.

Corridors are currently being examined as to how and where the downhill routes can run. This affects around 50 landowners, with whom an agreement must now be reached. It is still unclear when and to what extent construction work can begin. A staggered realization is planned. Tourism Director Martin Bachofner told the Berner Zeitung newspaper whether the first facilities on the Horneggli could be opened for the 2015 summer season will become clear over the course of the winter.
