Switzerland

14) Wiriehorn

Wiriehorn is a small Alpine town and ski resort through the winter months.  It's one chairlift has been used to good effect through the summer months by the resort, which has built some Downhill and Freeride trails to provide a summer season. 

It has a mellow relaxed vibe that makes it an enjoyable place to spend a few days.  Wiriehorn is a sleepy Swiss town that comes to life for the race events held here each year.  The trails are open though, most of the year, with zero queuing.

Nearest airport: Bern, Geneva.

Wiriehorn has a very small but good quality bike offer, it is aimed more at the Downhill/Freeride market.  The resort has a relaxed and fun feel and is great as part of a multi trip tour.  Offering a new fast 6 man chairlift which takes riders to the top, with quality trails and a long bike season.

DOWNHILL
The main Downhill is a regular fixture of the IXS Downhill Series and tests some of the best riders.  With high speeds and tighter, more technical root sections it has a good mix of terrain.  Local Swiss downhiller Thomas Rysser has had a lot of input in the trails over the past few years building lines to challenge beginners through to pros.  All of the hardest parts of the course can be avoided making the line work for less experienced riders as well as the racers out there.

FREERIDE
Wiriehorn has a Freeride descent with more northshore and jumps than the main Downhill, though even that trail is littered with drops and small gaps and there is a 400m northshore section.  It is a fun place to session the Downhill trails and hit the various stunts and gaps that have been put in on the hill.

CROSS-COUNTRY
The resort has focused its attention on gravity trails.  The new Cross Country route is a welcome addition but there is not enough here to justify more than a weekend stop without heading out under your own steam with a map.

    People deserve very good life and loan or college loan will make it better. Because people's freedom relies on money state.

    That is known that cash can make us disembarrass. But what to do when somebody has no cash? The one way only is to receive the personal loans or bank loan.
