8 Sport | Zermatt Magazin MOUNTAIN BIKING FOR TOURISTS BEGINS WITH THE KIDS In Zermatt, we want everyone on two wheels to feel welcome. This means providing exciting attractions and events for the locals, too. That is where Matter Valley Bike Club leads the way.
Event | Zermatt Magazin From left to right: Mélanie Lauper, Lea Zumtaugwald, Cornelius Schreck When you start pedalling, you leave your everyday worries behind, says Mélanie Lauper, who is 30 years old, used to play football, and today lives in Zermatt. She discovered mountain biking after trying out a number of different sports. Now, she competes in races and is a coach for young riders at the Matter Valley Bike Club. More than 40 kids and young riders currently take part at the training sessions, from primary school age up to athletes such as Lea Zumtaugwald. In September the 17-year-old rode onto the podium of the Swiss Enduro Series for the first time. "For me, Zermatt is a real mountain bike paradise", says Mélanie Lauper. During the winter her main occupation is as a snowboard instructor. In the summer she is responsible for assigning ski runs to the skiing teams that train on the glacier. Zermatt offers so many opportunities that there is still time in an eight-hour workday to go out for a bike ride. That's how during the summer Melanie's day often starts with snowboarding and ends with mountain biking. In the Matter Valley there is much to discover by bike, including its unique panorama featuring the Matterhorn. This time, Mélanie and Lea are heading for Sunnegga, an exciting flow of trails that guide you through the landscape. The Matterhorn is showing off its best side today, and provides an awesome backdrop for the downhill run. The two women are accompanied by Cornelius Schreck. The 29-year-old from Swabia in Germany is the product manager for mountain biking at the Zermatt tourism office. And, Cornelius himself is a keen mountain biker. He has witnessed the way ski tourism has developed in recent years and says: "mountain biking has also become an extremely dynamic sport for the masses." This means more than building exceptionally high quality trails. There are four employees at the municipal depot who look after the bike trails. More people join them when needed. "Zermatt has steadily expanded its know-how and mountain bike offering over the past few years", says Cornelius. This includes convenient transport using the majority of the cable cars. However, there is still more that belongs to the perfect Zermatt experience, such as the right equipment, for example. Mountain bikes with or without electric motors can be rented from numerous shops, as can protective gear and helmets. We continue on our two-wheeled excursion around Zermatt. " The foodie aspect is almost as important for mountain bikers as the quality of the trails", says Cornelius. Local specialities and cool drinks are simply part of the positive overall experience. Having descended the Sunnegga trail, it's time to enjoy a delicious cheese and potato pie at a local restaurant. While the mountain bikes also take a rest at the bike stand outside, Cornelius starts to tell his story. He went to university, where he studied sustainable regional management. Today, sustainability is defined in terms of three criteria: environmental, social and governance. "It's also important that all these aspects are taken into account by mountain biking as a tourist attraction", he says. The social component in particular is more important than you might think. "We want to offer a product that is easily accessible to as many people as possible. From ambitious mountain bike athletes to families, and people who enjoy a more leisurely bike ride. And that is why you need a reliable base in the village." The foundation for mountain biking as a tourist attraction are the kids and the young riders at the Matter Valley Bike Club. Around a dozen of them meet this evening at the training session in the village of Täsch. A bike park with a series of different features was opened a year ago. It includes a pump track, dirt jumps and obstacle course. "It's great to see how much fun the kids have here", says Cornelius. Whenever he has time, he also takes part as a coach. There are several reasons for encouraging kids and young riders. Enjoying the freedom of movement outdoors, for example. And learning to cycle more safely on the road, says Cornelius. Working with the younger generation at Matter Valley Bike Club is also an investment in the future of Zermatt as a tourist destination. Young people from the local area should feel as welcome using the broad spectrum of mountain bike offerings as visitors on vacation who want to try mountain biking for the first time.
