E-Mountainbike Project

The prefix "E" for "Elektro" is forward-looking. E-bikes, e-cars, with an "E" on the front, it's very trendy. The mountain bike is no different. In Dobbiaco is now a corresponding hotspot, where you want to get all stakeholders from the beginning on board to work together in consultation and close cooperation with landowners, farmers representatives, forestry, AVS, local bikers and tourism professionals to find a good solution.

The e-mountain bike offers great potential for landlords, the local economy, landowners and tourism. In order to avoid potential conflicts as early as possible, the E-Mountainbike Kick Off started in Dobbiaco in June 2018: possible conflicts were discussed, participants could go on tour together, achieve great goals and exchange ideas with experts. An integral part of the developed business model is the involvement and sensitization of the local population and decision-makers. The villagers and decision-makers should work together with all interest groups on the topic and make decisions in order to identify themselves as well as possible with the e-mountain bike.

After a first joint e-mountain bike ride with representatives of the forestry authority, the farmers' union and the parliamentary group, a joint exit was held in Dobbiaco with representatives of the municipality (mayors, vice-mayors and local councilors) and the tourism association. The participants were enthusiastic and there were many constructive conversations on this occasion as well as the admission for a good cooperation for the development of Toblach as E-Mountainbike Hotspot in the Dolomites.

In the meantime, TV Dobbiaco already has the first results from Allegra Tourism, which will help to develop Dobbiaco into a center for e-mountain biking. As soon as the business model is in its definitive form, all those interested and above all the so-called stakeholders (landowner, forestry authority, AVS, faction, farmer representatives, community representatives but also our landlords, bike guides and other interest groups) are invited to a presentation evening. There the results will be presented to the public. For implementation, the close cooperation and opinion of the so-called stakeholders is used in order to jointly achieve the best for Dobbiaco.
