Its been quiet for the last few weeks. Work and flu have been keeping me indoors and off the trails. Unfortunately its looking like another two weeks or so before I can get back in the saddle with a vengeance.
I’ve checked out some of the opening times for some lift accessed bike trails throughout Switzerland and they are posted below.Most of these locations offer a freeride or downhill trail but also tons of natural trail riding if you are willing to ride a little from the top of the lifts.
