SwitzerlandMobility – the network for non-motorized traffic
SwitzerlandMobility is THE national network for non-motorized traffic, providing free information on officially signposted summer and winter routes.
Origins
Way back in 1993, a few keen cyclists from Olten had the idea of creating a network of national bike routes. After discussions with the Swiss Tourism Federation, the Veloland Schweiz foundation was set up jointly to represent the many organizations from the transport, sports and tourism sectors. Work on the network began in 1995, with plans to establish nine national bike tour routes with a combined length of over 3,000 km.
From discussions with the association "Schweizer Wanderwege" the idea was born in 1999, a national route network of non-motorized individual transport for leisure and tourism to develop. After long preparation, implementation began in the fall of 2004. The clients were various federal offices, cantons, the Principality of Liechtenstein and numerous organizations from the transport, sports and tourism sectors. In 2008, the SwitzerlandMobility Foundation was established and has since been very successful in the market. The foundation is subject to federal supervision and has a non-profit character.
Unique around the world
Switzerland has a uniformly signalized, dense network of long-distance routes that is unique in the world for hikers, cyclists, mountain bikers, inline skaters, canoeists, snowshoers, cross-country skiers and sledders.
All stages of these routes are linked with services from a range of partners, including BnB Switzerland. SwitzerlandMobility provides comprehensive, highly visible information on places, local sights, rental points and accommodation options.
BnB Switzerland and SwitzerlandMobility
On the app and on the SwitzerlandMobility website, active people can immediately find suggestions for accommodation including address, telephone number, an approximate price per night and much more. Accommodation providers who are members of SwitzerlandMobility thus take advantage of the opportunity to make their offer easily visible to all those planning their leisure time activities.
Are you planning a hike with an overnight stay in the mountains, a bike tour with the family including a stay on a farm or a snowshoe tour combined with a night in a chalet? SwitzerlandMobility combines leisure activities, tour planning and sleeping options at a glance.
A collaboration between BnB Switzerland and SwitzerlandMobility has already existed since 2008. Thanks to this partnership, the hosts of BnB Switzerland receive a discount of 10 % on the membership fee from SwitzerlandMobility in the amount of CHF 160.00.
If an accommodation is located near a national route, we can highly recommend a SwitzerlandMobility membership.
