Thanks to the partnership with the Zug Corporation, the approximately 7400 bikers in the canton of Zug will soon have access to a bike trail on the Zugerberg. The building application for the first route is expected to be submitted in April. If everything goes according to plan, nothing should stand in the way of the start of construction in fall 2015. The trail will be operated by Koorperation Zug, which is also making the entire land available free of charge.

The 2.1-kilometre trail will run south of the Zugerbergbahn and start directly at the mountain station, with a difference in altitude of 340m. The construction work is being planned and carried out by Velosolutions.

The Zug Corporation and Martin Winkler from the Zug Office for Wildlife and Forestry support the project, as it is hoped that the immediate region around the mountain railroad will be relieved. In the run-up to the project, there were also repeated rumors of a bike ban on the Zugerberg.
