Mountainbiking in Switzerland

Conduct in natural surroundings

With SwitzerlandMobility you experience the multifaceted and varied landscape of Switzerland at close quarters. You are guests in natural surroundings. Many plants and animals rely on a very restricted habitat and are very sensitive to disturbance. You can help to keep these habitats intact with considerate behaviour. Our responsibility towards nature and the landscape is not only limited to conduct when travelling, but also before and after: planning, choice of materials, travelling to and from home and disposal of waste are also involved. We ask you to please observe the following:

• take natural and environmental aspects into account when preparing your SwitzerlandMobility excursion


• behave as a guest in natural surroundings and respect the restrictions indicated.


• keep to existing pathways and routes as far as possible.


• do not leave any litter lying around.


• as far as possible use public transport, go by bike, on foot or form a carpool for the journey to and from your destination.
