Switzerland: Hallwag 50K Mountain Biking Maps

Popular mountain biking areas of Switzerland on waterproof and tear-resistant, contoured maps at 1:50,000 from Hallwag, each highlighting several circuits and providing route profiles, guidance on the difficulty and overall experience, etc.Each map is printed on sturdy, waterproof and tear-resistant plastic, and uses the same detailed base as other hiking and cycling map series from the Hallwag โ€“ Kรผmmerly + Frey publishing house. Contours are at 25m intervals, enhanced by shading and excellent graphic relief to provide a very clear picture of the topography. An overprint highlights several mountain bike circuits from main towns and holiday resorts on the map, indicating the direction of the route. The routes are graded by colour-coding into five degrees of difficulty. Additional information provided on the map includes youth hostels, Friends of Nature houses or isolated countryside hotels, viewpoints, interesting sites, etc. The maps have a 1-km gird, although no Swiss national survey coordinates are provided for it.On the reverse each of the highlighted circuits is presented on a route-profile which also indicates โ€œbeauty and experience valueโ€ (changes in landscape, viewpoints, etc); difficulty; overall severity (length + difference in elevation + difficulty); distance; difference in altitude; time required; and the highest point.The legend for the main map and for the route profiles includes English. Brief descriptions of each circuit are in German only.
