Grosswangen's New Mobile Pump Track Opens for All Ages in March 2026
A new mobile pump track will open in Grosswangen on March 13, 2026, offering a space for cycling, scooters, and skateboarding. The facility will remain in place until May 11, 2026, and is designed for users of all ages and skill levels. The pump track will operate daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. However, during school hours, it will be reserved exclusively for pupils and closed to the general public. Safety is a priority, with the facility meeting all standards set by the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention (bfu). Rules of conduct are also displayed on-site for all users.
The track caters to a wide range of visitors. Children as young as toddlers can practice on balance bikes, while older riders can refine their coordination and fitness. Advanced cyclists and professionals will find it a useful training ground. At least five similar pump tracks already exist in Switzerland, including permanent installations in Arlesheim, Reinach, and Aesch, as well as a mobile track in Neuhausen am Rheinfall since July 2. Like these, the Grosswangen facility encourages social interaction across different age groups and backgrounds. Users must ride at their own risk, as the track is unsupervised. The municipality has stated it will not accept liability for any accidents or damages that occur.
The Grosswangen pump track will provide a dedicated space for cycling, scooters, and skateboarding for nearly two months. Its design supports both beginners and experienced riders, while safety guidelines ensure responsible use. The facility joins a growing number of similar tracks across Switzerland.
