The trails from Oberalp to Sedrun get a "fresh polish

In the course of implementing the "St. Gotthard Mountain Bike Labyrinth", around ten kilometers of trails are being renovated between the Oberalp Pass and Sedrun. Over the course of nine weeks, the trails on mountain bike route 205 will be made more rideable in places, drainage optimized and the trail network from the Tiarms Pass to Sedrun made more attractive. The work should be completed by the end of October 2021.

The SwitzerlandMobility mountain bike route 205 runs mainly on existing hiking trails and is part of the "St. Gotthard Mountain Bike Labyrinth". Specialists from Trailworks Bike Trails & Wanderwege GmbH are now renovating four sections of ten kilometers in total in the canton of Graubünden. These sections of Route 205 are located between the Tiarms Pass, north-east of the Oberal Pass, and Sedrun. Work has already been completed on almost eight kilometers.

On the affected sections, the main focus is on optimizing areas that are very bumpy and therefore almost impossible to ride. Work is also being carried out in uphill passages to improve rideability and redesign the lines where necessary. In addition, wet spots will be provided with stone fields and drainage will be improved in many areas. The route was previously very narrow in places and has now been widened so that hikers and bikers can meet and avoid each other, especially where the trail rides along steep slopes. Well-preserved sections, on the other hand, are only maintained by hand in order to preserve their natural character as much as possible.

In total, the renovation work on Route 205 will take around nine weeks. The trail builders plan to complete their work on the remaining two kilometers by the end of October at the latest.
