1 – Side-by-side.
Respect others using the paths and trails (trail tolerance)
Forward-looking riding and take the unexpected into consideration
Avoid heavily used path sections when riding fast
2 – Environment.
Protect nature
Do note leave tracks behind
Close meadow gates after going through
3 – Safety.
Use good and proper equipment
Plane a tour carefully
Check the weather and weather forecast before setting out

Associée aux coulisses uniques des Alpes, tout est réuni pour procurer des expériences inoubliables.
REGLES DE CONDUITE POUR LES MOUNTAINBIKERS
Les cyclistes sont autorisés à emprunter tous les sentiers dans la mesure où aucun panneau ne l'interdit formellement. Par conséquent, cela peut être une source de conflits avec des promeneurs et la destination demande de ce fait à tous les usagers de se montrer respectueux d'autrui afin d'assurer une coexistence paisible sur tous les sentiers dans et autour de Zermatt, Täsch et Randa.
1 – Vivre ensemble.
Respecter les autres utilisateurs des sentiers (principe de coexistence)
Conduire prudemment et anticiper l’imprévu
Éviter les tronçons les plus fréquentés aux heures de forte affluence
2 – Environnement.
Ménager la nature
Ne pas laisser de trace
Refermer les barrières des pâturages après avoir traversé
3 – Sécurité.
Bien s'équiper
Planifier consciencieusement la course
