TOP 3 FAVORITES (CURRENTLY):
***There is so much epic riding here. Unfortunately I was visiting in the winter so my riding was limited and I left as most of the well known trails were opening up. Sad Face! I plan to return for an extended riding stay (this time with my wife!) so stay tuned!

Lucerne
Gigliwald Trail: (Black)
A fun, short downhill trail located just outside Lucerne in the Gigliwald Forest. Contains a number of drops, gap jumps, rooty and rocky techy sections, and a wall ride. Trail spits you out on the road for a short and easy, roughly 2 mile climb back to the top. A very fun trail to work on techniques and skills or simply just get some time on the bike if not looking for a long ride.
A neat trail with beautiful scenery. An adventure ride more than a normal mountain bike ride. Lots of hikers. Some fun technical downhill riding! There is a good portion on roads however.
