Project Description

ERT Masterplan

On behalf of the Thun development area, a bike-specific concept including a master plan with recommendations for action was developed by autumn 2019 on the basis of a holistic analysis.

The Thun Development Area (ERT) is a diverse and scenically very attractive mountain bike region. On behalf of the ERT, a bike-specific concept including a master plan with recommendations for action was developed by autumn 2019 on the basis of a holistic analysis. The resulting ‘ERT Mountain Bike Masterplan’ serves as an overarching planning basis for the implementation phase, which is to take place over the next 5 – 10 years.

The route concept from the mountain bike masterplan is currently being converted into a binding structure plan for the authorities. In addition, a mountain bike coordination centre is being set up for the ERT and the first infrastructure projects are being launched. This is being done under the project title ‘Bike ERT’. The project is being financed by the new regional policy (NRP), among other things.
