Planning the mountain bike network in the canton of Neuchâtel
Example for municipalities
Bergtal is considering whether mountain biking tourism is right for the municipality.
The municipality has heard that trails can be a strong summer attraction. But no one knows whether an investment would pay off, who would take it on or how residents feel about it.
Starting point
There is an idea, but no basis for a decision.
- The mountain lift company and tourism representatives want a summer offering, but the municipal council is skeptical.
- Unanswered questions about demand, costs, project ownership and acceptance are preventing a decision.
- The municipality does not want to spend money on planning before the potential is clear.
Consulting steps
We provide clarity before investments are made.
- Potential assessment covering demand, target audiences and economic value for tourism.
- Workshop with the municipality, tourism representatives, the mountain lift company, forestry and landowners.
- Feasibility study comparing options, outlining costs and identifying possible operating models.
Results
Bergtal makes its decision on a sound basis.
- A clear picture of the potential, risks and a realistic scope.
- A recommendation covering the first step, project ownership and an approach to funding.
- The municipal council can make a decision in principle and initiate focused planning.
