The members of the Züritrails association will be available for discussions on the Uto Kulm from 10 am on Saturday and Sunday. Riding technique training will be offered in small groups from 1 pm each day.

The young Züritrails association has set itself the goal of continuing the dialog between bikers and other forest users and also to relieve the city authorities of trail construction and maintenance work. In particular, the Triemli bike trail has been improved and the route optimized with more than 1,000 hours of work by the members of the association. "The primary goal was to make the trail even safer and smoother," says Frank Wadenpohl, President of Züritrails. The logistical support from the district forester also made a major contribution to achieving this goal.In order to separate mountain bikers and pedestrians on the Uetliberg as far as possible, the city of Zurich created a mountain bike trail in 2005 at considerable expense. Since then, the "Biketrail Triemli" has contributed significantly to the separation. However, with around 16,000 rides per year, the trail has also become a victim of its own popularity and permanent maintenance has reached the limits of what the authorities can do, as they are responsible for the maintenance, design and management of public green spaces.Further information: www.zueritrails.ch
