- The Route 66 in Ticino is 120 km long, with 4500 metres in altitude and 6000 metres in altitude, signposted in 4 stages and only marked in one direction.  
- The technical trails, some of which are deep black, require confident riding technique; an e-MTB makes the steep, blocked climbs easier with targeted battery management.  
- Overnight stays and charging are possible in huts such as Capanna Monte Bar and Monte Tamaro; best time to travel is June to October, booking recommended.

- New, comparatively small Zugspitz Bike Park in Ehrwald with three routes (blue, red, black) and a day ticket for 36 euros.  
- Bluebird flowline (4.1 km, 420 metres in altitude) uses the entire slope, is narrow and rather challenging for absolute beginners, but offers plenty of flow for advanced riders.  
- Red Fifty Fifty and black Bare Knuckle are shorter, more natural and can be combined for experienced riders; further trails and a combined lift pass are planned.

SUPERTRAILS

- Six selected trail routes in different federal states cover difficulty levels from easy to difficult and various bike categories.
- The trails combine natural elements such as roots, rocks, steep descents and coniferous soil with built features such as drops, doubles and wooden elements.
- Lengths and altitude metres vary greatly; from short northern German trails with little altitude metres to long descents with over 550 altitude metres.

- Legalised trails are legally public, but supporters say that sensitive routes cannot cope with widespread advertising and high user pressure.
- Critics criticise overtourism, an unequal workload for local trail builders and additional conflicts with residents, authorities, hunters and property owners.
- Supporters call for sharing and involving users, while some associations deliberately avoid publicity; the editorial team sees its task as reporting.

- Two-day MTB variant around the Swiss National Park with more trails, railway and post bus instead of the 141.8 km original tour.
- Key passages are Valbella/Fuorcla Funtana da S-charl, Passo Gallo, Passo Trela and the flowing new trail at the Chaschauna pass.
- Biking is strictly forbidden in the park, the route around the outside is considered to be scenically outstanding, moderate in terms of riding technique and cost-intensive.

- Bavaria offers a particularly high number of metres in altitude and depth, seven distinctive trails from easy to difficult are presented, some of them in bike parks.  
- The trails range from flow and natural trails with waves, roots, rock gardens and variations to long mountain tours with challenging descents.  
- Some trails are part of larger tours or events, such as Enduro-One in Trieb 2026; Isar trails are to be officially prepared at the end of the year.

- Legal MTB offers are growing in Franconia, including a trail centre in the Altmühltal and trails near Nuremberg and Fürth.  
- Heumödern trails: Eulenhof trail (2.5 km, 130 metres in altitude, easy), subject to a charge, with variants for beginners and advanced riders.  
- Flowline at Schmausenbuck in Nuremberg (difficult, jumpline) and Uschi-Trail in the Fürth city forest (0.5 km, easy) offer short, varied descents.

- Local trails are often legalised and maintained by a few dedicated people, but some of them are not allowed to be advertised to tourists in order to avoid overtourism.  
- Jasper Jauch rejects segregation and exclusivity and emphasises that built trails should always be open to all bikers.  
- Proposed solution: Participation instead of secrecy - donation boxes, direct contact, events and regional networking to involve users.

- Bikepark Schienerberg: several shaped lines without a lift, Redline as an enduro nature trail with a variety of stunts, day ticket 5 euros, for advanced riders
- Immendingen: spot built by Schanzenwerk with three trails, 240 m jumpline with hips, double waves and large gaps, for experienced riders
- Freiburg: Canadian trail at Kybfelsen, 3.1 km and 450 metres of enduro terrain with roots, steps and berms; nearby: similarly challenging borderline descent

- Ljubljana offers a variety of MTB spots just outside the city: Golovec trails, Črnuče trails and Bikepark Ljubljana with Jumppark and Enduro lines.  
- Golovec offers 24 non-lift trails of all levels of difficulty, including flow, enduro and jump lines such as Trije Bratje and Banana.  
- Travelling by train or car is easy, the best time for biking is outside the hot months of July and August; the old town offers many restaurants and markets.

- Five friends ride the 275 km Stone King Rally route self-supported on heavily loaded enduro bikes across the Western Alps to the Mediterranean.  
- Weight, weather, breakdowns and crashes make the 13 days tough, but riding technique, packing routine and experiences on challenging trails grow with them.  
- The Stone King Rally offers 21,000 metres of descent (S2-S4), can be ridden via GPX, with or without a shuttle, even with an e-MTB and additional battery.

- New MTB routes totalling 84 km have been signposted on Texel, including the 44.8 km long "Texel Zuidlus" through forest and dune areas.
- Many trails are sandy, flowy and sometimes technical with short, steep ramps; a vignette or information on local websites is often required.
