Mountain Biking in Switzerland - Mountainbikeland Schweiz
The Swiss national mountain bike route network as of Mountainbikeland Schweiz (SchweizMobil) consists of three national routes and 16 regional routes and 211 local routes.
A very detailed map of the different routes can be found on the SchweizMobil website (for inspiration only, particularly since there are occasionally differences between the sign posted routes and this map and due to copyright issues)
Recommended tagging with relations
Routes may be marked by tagging each way, but this is not recommended.
I recommend using a Relation per route. Just add a relation to all the ways the route consists of. Relations can be extremely easy added with potlatch or JOSM.
The relations should have the tags listed here (based on a thread on the talk-ch mailing list, slightly extended with source:name and url).
Key | Value | Discussion |
---|---|---|
type | route | indicates this Relation represents a route |
route | bicycle or mtb | the ways making up a bicycle route, please use "mtb" for mountain bike routes |
name | default name | The route name as written on the signs (e.g. "Aare Route") |
name:de | German name | The route name in German (e.g. "Aare Route") |
name:fr | French name | The route name in French (e.g. "Route de l'Aar") |
name:it | Italian name | The route name in Italian (e.g. "Percorso dell'Aare") |
name:en | English name | The route name in English (e.g. "Aare Route") |
description | default description | A short description in the same language as name (e.g. "Etappe 2 (Meiringen-Spiez)") |
description:de | German description | A short description in German (e.g. "Etappe 2 (Meiringen-Spiez)") |
description:fr | French description | A short description in French |
description:it | Italian description | A short description in Italian |
description:en | English description | A short description in English (e.g. "Part 2 (Meiringen-Spiez)") |
ref | a reference | The route is named by this reference (e.g. "8" number found on sign), don't use ncn_ref or rcn_ref, this is specified by the network tag. |
network | ncn or rcn | Specify the network as a national route, a regional route, as per the normal tagging of cycle routes |
operator | Veloland Schweiz | The route is operated by this authority |
source:name | Veloland Schweiz | The source for the names of this route |
url | an url | the URL with additional information about the route, e.g. http://www.veloland.ch/de/routen_detail.cfm?route=route8 |

Rendering
Rendered maps use tiles to display the data. They can be used on any device which can display images on screen. The basic approaches are web services are web services (tiles stored on a server, internet connection necessary to view) or offline services (download all tiles first and then store them on the device).
- OpenCycleMap
- This is an online map with cycle tracks, contours, and bike services highlighted. The tiles are licenced as CC-BY-SA 2.0 and mass use requires an API key (cost depending on usage plan).[1]
- Waymarked trails: cycling
- Waymarked trails is a online overlay over standard tile layer showing cycle routes. The overlay is licensed as CC-BY-SA 3.0 Germany and mass download is strongly discouraged.[2]
- extract.bbbike.org
- Bbbike offers an extract service to download tiles and data in various formats. There is also a professional version available using an API key (fee required).[3]
- cycle.travel map
- A web map with also allows routing. An API access needs individual arrangement[4], no dedicated licensing applies.
- Cyclestreets' photomap
- The photomap is a web map based on OpenCycleMap but enriched with photos. Uploaders can choose a licence for their files. There are API keys and commercial arrangements are available, too.[5][6]
Even though not specifically for bicyclists, the web maps https://opentopomap.org and https://www.wanderreitkarte.de/ might be useful as well.
