👨‍👧‍👦 Elevating the MTB Experience at Wexl Trails with the Family! 🚵‍♂️

It’s been almost a year since our unforgettable day at Wexl Trails, and what a day it was! Our kids, aged 5 and 8, had the time of their lives, thanks to the fantastic facilities that made our family adventure seamless and joyous.

The bike lift, using the Easy Loop system, was a game-changer. With just one hand movement, we could quickly hook and release, ensuring a centered alignment during the ride. This system is designed to be user-friendly for riders of all ages, starting from 20" wheel sizes, making it perfect for our young MTB enthusiasts. Paired with the magic carpet, even the littlest riders could reach the top without breaking a sweat 😅. We’re already looking forward to our next visit in a few weeks!


Embarking on an MTB adventure at Wexl Trails with my kids has been nothing short of magical. The trails, designed and built by Allegra, are a testament to their commitment to creating engaging and sustainable outdoor experiences. Their expertise shines through every feature, from the uphill flow trail to the adrenaline-pumping jump line with its massive jumps and berms 🌲🚴‍♀️.

The uphill flow trail is an absolute marvel, stretching 5.3 km and offering a unique challenge that’s both kid-friendly and exhilarating for adults – it’s uphill fun with a twist! 🔄

But let’s talk about the jump line – it’s a thrill-seeker’s paradise with huge jumps, table tops, and berms that will get your heart racing. Referred to by some as the mini A-Line at Whistler, it’s a place where you can catch some serious airtime and practice those jump skills.

Allegra’s vision for Wexl Trails was to create a space where families could come together and share the joy of mountain biking. They’ve not only succeeded but set a new standard for trail centers everywhere. From bike rentals to a cozy lounge, they offer comprehensive services and facilities, ensuring every visit is as comfortable as it is thrilling 🛠️🥪.

So, if you’re looking for a place where the entire family can enjoy mountain biking, look no further. Wexl Trails is the perfect blend of fun, challenge, and convenience, all wrapped up in a beautiful natural setting.

Check out the video and plan your visit for lots of fun!

🌱 Growing Together on the Trails of Sölden 🚴‍♂️

Imagen
This is the time of year when you start looking back at the past season (or even the past years), remembering the best rides, the places that filled you with energy, and begin planning next summer’s adventures. For us, one destination instantly comes to mind: Sölden . The season opening at Bike Republic Sölden in June 2024 was our last visit there. It’s one of my favorite places on earth for mountain biking, and this time it was even more special, the kids are growing and can now tackle more challenging trails. I wasn’t just riding for myself, but sharing the adventure with them. Watching them ride down the mountain with confidence and joy, embracing new challenges along the way, was something I’ll never forget. From a trail design perspective, what makes Sölden and Allegra’s work so unique, and such a great example for every trail network designer, is the combination of its breathtaking alpine landscapes, its amazing network of lifts, and, above all, the progressive design of its...

🌍 Why Every Trail Needs the ITRS System 🚵‍♂️

Hey folks! Today, I wanted to shine a light on something that I believe could truly revolutionize how we ride and plan our mountain bike adventures. It’s the brilliant work of a team of passionate trail professionals who came up with something we've all needed for ages: the International Trail Rating System (ITRS) ! 🎯 🌟 What’s so special about ITRS? Well, the ITRS provides an objective, consistent, and super detailed way to assess the rideability and difficulty of trails—no matter where you are. Whether you're shredding in the Alps, cruising local trails, or exploring a bike park halfway across the world, the rating system is always clear and reliable. And the beauty of it? It works everywhere! 🙌 It doesn’t matter if you're in a lift-assisted bike park, a remote trail center, or a small local network —the system applies universally. That's the magic. A common language for trail builders, riders, and families alike. 🚴‍♀️ Why does this matter? It’s essential when y...

Trail Planning on MTB Trail Networks 🚵‍♂️🌲

Imagen
Last August, I had the chance to participate in the Trail Network Planning Webinar organized by the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC and conducted by Magi Scallion from McElhanney . I want to share some insights from the webinar and my conclusions about the essence of trail planning and what it involves. Although intuitively known and often put into practice, it was great to compile a list of considerations that should be taken into account every time we think about a trail network and how it should function. There are many benefits to a well-structured and planned network of trails. Trail planning addresses many issues that may arise during the use of trail networks for recreational purposes. How Does Trail Planning Help Us Manage a Trail Network? 🌐 1.- Identifies and Classifies Existing Trails 🗺️ 2.- Identifies Types of Users on existing trails, from hikers to bikers to trail runners 🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️ 3.- Identifies Types of Soil in the area 🌱 4.- Identifies Sensitive Areas of...
